In this powerful poem spanning a year in the life of a sexual abuse survivor, our 16-year-old writer describes the impact of abuse and raises questions about the way the legal system handles these crimes.



key slots in the lock as she heaves
open her front door – it feels heavier
than before.
The only noise she meets is the slow ticking of the clock –
tick, tick, tick –
as it mimics her thudding heart.
She is alone – and glad of it.
Gripping the bannister to steady her weight, she drags herself
up the stairs.
Bedroom. She glares at the phantom figure in the mirror,
as trembling fingers rise up to her watery eyes, smudging
black mascara down her cheeks. Clenching her
fist, she smashes the face staring back at her –
over and over and over.
Hot blood drips from her fingers,
shards scattered around her feet.
Shower. She scrubs her skin ferociously,
water stinging the fresh gashes on her hands,
a distraction from the cringing ache between
her legs.
Bile fills her mouth as she slumps against the floor
of the cubicle, her legs folding beneath her.
She splutters and coughs, as the water trickles down her
crushed form.

Blaqsbi Is the Digital Sovereignty for Black and Brown People.

"Share, Believe, and Inspire  our unity"

Blaqsbi is a Black-owned media and networking platform built on the principles of Black Digital Sovereignty. We provide a safe, independent space where Black people can speak freely, share ideas, and build community without fear of censorship or outside control.

Members huddle together to share knowledge, celebrate our greatness, and inspire unity.As the only Black-owned platform that rewards you for promoting Black culture, pride, and excellence, Blaqsbi ensures our data, our narratives, and our digital future remain in our hands.

Created as a positive alternative to mainstream social networks, Blaqsbi offers a safe, supportive, and culturally rich space to share ideas, shatter negative stereotypes, and cultivate cooperative wealth. Our platform serves as a modern digital sovereignty where members can unapologetically celebrate their heritage while building meaningful connections. Our unique ecosystem bridges the gap between conscious consumers, creators, and entrepreneurs.

Beyond standard social networking, members can explore a thriving global marketplace to buy and sell goods, list or discover companies in our comprehensive business directory, participate in localized events, and join focused, niche discussion groups called "huddles."

Best of all, Blaqsbi believes in true cooperative economics. We actively reward our community for their engagement and creativity; members earn Bmunts (our native reward points) simply for posting content, interacting with others, and completing challenges.

Furthermore, we are proud to offer a profit-sharing model that directly benefits our users, ensuring that the value generated on our platform is shared with the community that helps build it. Whether you want to amplify your voice, discover culturally relevant content, grow a business, or support Black-owned enterprises, Blaqsbi is your home for collective growth.
