Black Like Water is built around the flow of water as a central concept and as a metaphor for Black womanhood-fluid, powerful, transformative. Just as water shapes the land, the words and experiences in Black Like Water invite readers to reshape themselves. Through a combination of poetry, reflective writing prompts, and holistic exercises, this book offers a multi-layered experience where every reader can engage at their own pace, and explore not only the text but also their own internal landscapes.
