'Before I Lie' is a fusion of Afrofuturistic poetry and confessional prose that makes honesty celestial. These pages don't just perform-they testify, before silence swallows what was never meant to be heard. This isn't just a book-it's a courtroom of memory and confession. And you?

Dralandra Larkins is a multi-genre writer, three-time award-winning spoken word poet, and the author of Before I Lie (2025). A teaching artist with COMPAS and art instructor at Now Make Art, her work blends rhythm, intimacy, and vulnerability to create a haven for healing and advocacy-rooted deeply in her background as a social worker.
