A clock that was hanging on my wall. When I was in my late teens, I struggled a lot with my mental health. I was getting ready to graduate high school and I was at a crossroads of who I was and who I wanted to be. I wasn't certain about a lot of things, but I was certain about my love for writing.

Welcome to the Beauty Files, a series where we will uncover the behind the scenes stories of our Issue 6 Beauty Contributors and what they believe about beauty as Black women artists and creatives. Next up we have Spoken Black Girl Beauty Contributor, Yewande Akinse, whose poem “Postpartum” appears in Spoken Black Girl Issue 6 Beauty.

What inspired your piece featured in Spoken Black Girl: Beauty?

“The piece was inspired by the quiet, complicated truths of postpartum life, the parts we rarely name out loud. After giving birth, I felt both miraculous and undone, caught between gratitude for my daughter and grief for the version of myself I no longer recognized. Writing this poem became a way to honor that tension, to acknowledge the body’s transformation and the emotional upheaval that follows.”

How does your work explore or redefine beauty in your own words?

“I embrace big, natural hair and the way it can be shaped. I love how our hair can hold shape on its own. I like to use softer colors because I don't know if we see Black women in soft colors enough, with that gentleness and sense of delicateness.”

in 1784, Phillis Wheatley died in poverty, buried in an unmarked grave.

Once celebrated as a prodigy, Wheatley was the first African American to publish a book of poetry. Enslaved as a child and taught to read and write in Boston, she became a symbol of intellectual possibility while being denied the freedom to define her own life. Her poems were praised for their elegance but often stripped of their context. Scholars now recognize her use of double meanings to speak to fellow Black Americans—quiet acts of resistance in a world that demanded silence.

Meet Issue 6 Beauty Contributor Daisy Brown:

Daisy Brown is a self-taught photographer born and raised in the Sandtown-Winchester community of Baltimore City. Growing up with a mom who loved documenting family moments, capturing everything from reunions to school events and going to department stores for family portraits. She was always surrounded by a camera, photo albums and pictures on the walls of her family home on Fulton Avenue in West Baltimore. It wasn’t until the 4th grade that Daisy realized what she wanted to capture. With limited access to travel, she started taking pictures during school field trips, her neighborhood, and holidays with family. Just like mom she always has had a camera or a camcorder nearby, a young photojournalist if you will. Mom nurtured her love of photography and was grateful for the seed planted to pursue her passion.
