Soft Cover: Think Like A L.Y.O.N: Poetry Spellbook Vol. 1
Think Like L.Y.O.N. meaning Lift Yourself Over Negativity is language to live by.
If an African proverb wrote a poem, this is what it might sound like.
Inspired by African proverbs, oral traditions, storytelling, rhythm, poetry, affirmations, and liberation through literacy, the book explores how our ancestors preserved wisdom, resistance, healing, and identity through spoken word when so much of our history, authorship, and language was erased through colonization and oppression.
When our stories were erased, our ancestors carried entire worlds through proverbs, chants, stories, songs, rhythm, and oral traditions. Think Like L.Y.O.N. expands the wisdom carried through those traditions into modern-day reflections, affirmations, poems, journal prompts, and creative writing exercises designed to help readers reclaim authorship over their own lives.
This is not just a book to be read. It is a book to be listened to, experienced, reflected on, spoken aloud, and written through.
Through the prompts and reflections woven throughout the book, readers are invited to begin writing their own story.
Because authorship is ownership. Because literacy is liberation from limitations. And the lion’s story deserves to be told, even when it is uncomfortable for the hunter to hear.
A sacred guide to Lift Yourself Over Negativity and live like a L.Y.O.N., this poetic spellbook is the first in a nine-part series inviting readers to elevate their mindset, empower their lives, and cast words as intentional spells through incantations, affirmations, mantras, poetry, and prompts.
Read the spells, then write your own. Transmute challenges into courage. Reframe your story, and reclaim your glory.
