Publisher's Summary

Recognized by Nikki Giovanni to have “vision beyond his years,” Tiriq R. Callaway delivers his debut poetry book Shine Through Our Shade: An Evolution of Self Love, a collection of poetry and prose about resilience and survival. The experiences of hate, prejudice, grief, faith, and hope to self love.

It explores the the problem of acting out of fear, desperation and lack of knowledge of self that lead young adults and many others to a life of careless decisions and adverse consequences. Using personal encounters - as told through several relatable stories and heart-wrenching occurrences from an African American male’s perspective, the author delivers a melodic, vibration of inspirational poetry. This book evokes emotion that will inspire and illuminate the minds of listeners to find the light within, so they too can shine through life’s shade.

”Tiriq has vision beyond his years. His poetry is simple but expressed powerfully, and viscerally captures both the universal human experience and the particular struggles of an African American man today.” (Nikki Giovanni)
