Our ancestors come from Yoruba, therein lie the roots of our family tree. And so you will have a Yorubaland name – a name that means to breathe.
Series author’s poetic introduction to Embrace U’s second book: Simi Means Breathe
Simi Means Breathe: Simi is a mighty little soccer enthusiast with big talent – brave enough to both guard the goal and navigate his clinically diagnosed asthma. Come along as his coach and teammates share in his education both on and off the field. Second in the Embrace U series, we’ve upped our game with the inclusion of a lively, illustrated glossary and delicately leaned into the figurative importance of the journey towards breathing free in today’s social climate. The best teammates are the ones who show up and perform just in the nick of time… Welcome to the team, Simi!

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.
