Ancestral Echoes : Poems of Spirit and Resistance

Ancestral Echoes: Poems of Spirit and Resistance is the debut collection from Na’Kiima Le’Asia Reid, a writer, activist, and creative spirit whose words pulse with truth, resilience, and love.

Through vivid imagery and unflinching honesty, these poems explore ancestry, identity, injustice, spirituality, and self-healing. From meditations on Blackness and heritage, to reflections on loss, resilience, and motherhood, Reid’s voice weaves the personal and the political into a powerful tapestry of expression.

Written in rhythms that echo both ancestral wisdom and contemporary struggle, Ancestral Echoes invites readers to confront pain, honor roots, and find light within the void. This is poetry that speaks to those who seek freedom, connection, and transformation—a reminder that even in times of injustice and grief, beauty and strength endure.

For lovers of poetry that resonates with heart and spirit, this collection offers both solace and fire.
