I-Sis, originally from Trinidad, in the Caribbean, is based in West London, she describes herself as an Eclectic Afrikan Centric Poet, “Your [I Sis] voice is expressive and your ideas are well thought out, and have impact ”.
She draws inspiration from her activism and engagement with Pan Afrikan politics and campaigning against structural injustice over the last 30 years.
Her poetry encapsulates her commitment to anti-colonialist -racist - imperialist struggle, explores reparations (for enslaved Afrikans), identity, culture and language, alongside her personal experiences as a migrant Afrikan Caribbean woman in the world. ‘I use my poetry as advocacy’.
I Sis is passionate about WORDplay, the elasticity of language, playing with words, language is the prize of the victor, the tool of the oppressor . She has a MA in Black British Writing.
