Black Orchids

About the Book

Black Orchids: a journey to mocha, is a reflective collection of intimate poems by Chicago's very own Mocha Sistah. This is a collection of poems that discuss love, crushes, heartbreak, insecurity, good vibes, relationships and soul spirituality. Written from a narrative raw voice, Mocha Sistah brings back the literary seasoning of Musings of a Mocha Sistah with much more mature and open voice. From the uplifting, "My Evolution" to the romantic "Kissing You" she keeps the emotions going and growing in each poem. She lets flow out of her mind compelling questions and challenges her reader to take the journey to mocha. Black Orchids is an ever-evolving path to a young woman on the quest to her soul's destiny by living and loving life.
