Black Like Water is built around the flow of water as a central concept and as a metaphor for Blackwomanhood-fluid, powerful, transformative. Just as water shapes the land, the words andexperiences in Black Like Water invite readers to reshape themselves. Through a combinationof poetry, reflective writing prompts, and holistic exercises, this book offers a multi-layeredexperience where every reader can engage at their own pace, and explore not only the text butalso their own internal landscapes. Shiann Croft is a multidisciplinary artist and poet whose work centers on Blackidentity, creative liberation, and cultural reclamation. As the Founder, Director, and Curator ofThe Coven: Black Artists In Residence, Shiann creates spaces where artists can reconnectwith their roots, and create art that is both revolutionary and restorative.
