“I’m Black, blacker than you can understand” ~ Dralandra Larkins

Before I Lie | Book Release and Live Performance

"Before I Lie" is a fusion of Afrofuturistic poetry and confessional prose that makes honesty celestial. These pages don't just perform—they testify, before silence swallows what was never meant to be heard. This isn't just a book—it's a courtroom of memory and confession. And you? You're here to bear witness.”
