Amplify Your Voice

Jamica Ashley Whitaker

Storytelling Advocate

Poet

Hello!

I write to stimulate your imagination, to encourage us to think beyond our daily routines, and remind us that we are not alone. By strategically using the written word, I advocate for and amplify others.

Writing is a process that takes time and practice. I can use my expertise to assist with messaging, develop personal & professional narratives, explore more effective mediums, and much more!

Representation matters. You deserve to see yourself

where ever you can imagine and know that you are heard, valued, and respected.

I see you.

I honor you.

Let me amplify your voice.

Crooked Crowns Shine Too

This poetry collection is a reflection on experiences that have revealed the harsh truth, ugly lies, and unrelenting love we live and grow through. As we work to restore balance and adjust our crowns, we must remember that crooked crowns shine too.

Poetic Lines By Divine Women

Featured Poems: I See You Sis, We've Run Our Curse, K.O., Rooted, and Stargazing

Yonitry: Volume 2 resumes the mission of the first anthology by highlighting resilient women through their journeys with empowerment and healing. In Volume 2, we’ve put our growth on display and we step into our power as the true goddesses we were always meant to be.

In this work, we explore the intricacies and intimacies of being a woman. Through this sisterhood, you will dive into our innermost thoughts that include topics like self-care, loss, unity in loving partnerships, motherhood, culture, and thriving after trauma. We encourage you to be inspired. Relate. Find truth. Have an epiphany. Chuckle. Smile. Learn and grow. Get a different perspective. Understand life. Be educated about the different walks we women take.
