[Dey] is a term used to communicate where (how) we exist spatially, as well as to communicate one\u2019s well being. \u201cWhere allyuh dey?\u201d \u201cWe dey home.\u201d \u201cAllyuh irie?\u201d \u201cWe dey.\u201d Dey is a platform dedicated to amplifying the voices of marginalized folx who would otherwise go unheard. Through creation, community, and the facilitation of conversations, we stand as a platform on which we can communicate that we dey, we are here, and we are not going anywhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cbut no one looked\/ at me\/ I had to resuscitate myself\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Poet Nia Mora captures the essence of Dey in the last three lines of her poem titled <\/span>Salvage<\/span><\/i>. She writes of \u201cdrowning\u201d and choking on her own tears, which clutter her throat and submerge her breath, as she flails her \u201cbrown arms\u201d. Mora describes her arms as \u201cthe branches of the tree\/ that scratches your window\/pane\u201d, as though spine-chilling, as though \u201cthey\u201d are frightened by the sticky stench of blood on their hands. I was swallowed whole by Mora\u2019s poem, and cradled myself in its crevices, where its teeth met its gums…’<\/span><\/p>\n
