In XYBM 131, I sit down with Kira J, a powerful poet and writer known for her raw, heartfelt pieces on healing, love, and personal growth. Her work, including poems like "Do You Believe in God?" and "INDIA," reflects her deep journey of self-discovery, faith, and emotional truth. We dive into the power of platonic intimacy, the challenges of vulnerability, how gender dynamics shape relationships in the Black community and SO much more.
