Poems from ycross24
Hi! My name is Ymani Cross. I am 24 years old and I am currently in school for expressive art therapy! I love to write, volunteer, and laugh. I believe in helping people expressing themselves and healing through transparency, art, and freedom.Although I was an active spoken word member in high school, I haven't really been involved with any slams in my undergraduate career. I would like to change that so that is why I'm here. Look for community in creativity and constructive criticism!
God Bless. <3
