About Anjé

Anjé is a quirky Black poet who has aspired to publish poetry since she was 13-years-old. An advocate for mental health and self care, Anjé beautifully expresses her emotional intelligence in the pages of her poems. With over 10 years worth of writing experience, she has a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing and Psychology, and a Masters degree in Counseling. When she's not doing workshops on self-care, she spends her time performing at open mics and doing moon rituals. She dove into the literary community by being the Editor-In-Chief for The Literary Revolutionary & Co., and an Associate Editor for Quirktastic, where she would write anything from anime articles to manifestations and witch tips.

She is the 2020 recipient of the Samuel M. Cameron Graduate Award for Excellence in Counseling and she is a performing spoken word artist. Her new book, Retrograde, helps navigate people through mental health and hurt, to find self-love and joy.

“When I performed one of my break-up poems at an open mic in college, a girl came up to me and said, "I related to that poem so much."

When I performed a poem about my depression at an open mic, a faculty member came up to me and said, "Thank you for being vulnerable with us. I've suffered with depression for years and could never put it into words as you have."

Sharing my poems enables me to connect with others on a personal level, while also re-connecting with myself. Through each poem I move through my emotions and heal again. Through sharing these poems, others can connect and see their own journey in my words.”
