#beholderofbeauty ‘History will be kind to me; for I intend to write it.’ ~Winston Churchill. But will it be kind to your lineage? The ones you leave behind? The ones who eventually must pay your debt? What will she ingest from what this world shows her? Will you turn your head when her flash flashes? This time, this generation has a new #privilege. They can document the hell outta fake heavens, fake havens, fake first-worlds. What will they see? This time, history is #herstory. And our girls are on the right side of the camera. Civil war is an oxymoronic state of unrest that leaves casualties of immutable debt.

Oftentimes, I am asked the origin and/or meaning of my name. Shimah is a derivative of the name Shammah; Hebrew-Arabic in origin, with a biblical reference to Jehovah Shammah meaning 'God is present'. It is pronounced with the accent on the second syllable and the only one who shortens it on a consistent basis is my mother. I think I've been looking for ways to ground myself since birth - love grounds me, as does the written word. And so, here we are! Please explore the menu on the homepage; here you will find the different areas in which I express myself through script. Be it impromptu poetry, editing work, my ever-growing children's literature series, or the socially conscious (yet personally knotted) blog, it all siphons into creating and expression by way of the written word. I refer to myself as the Maternal Head of a beautiful little girl who lovingly just calls me mommy. If you've gotten through this lengthy bio then I will assume you've got time today... so, please leave me a note - the literates are in need of inspiration and constructive feedback from time to time. Take care of your soul and I'll see ya'll 'round the way.
