They enjoy merging both imagery and language to engage in storytelling. Their favorite color is all of them but just a little desaturated. They enjoy singing in the morning, falling asleep with a book on their lap after lunch, drinking wine in the evening, riding their bicycle into the sunset, and blinking at the stars. Ameerah has been published a handful of times, nominated for the Pushcart Prize twice, and is currently working on a small collection of small poems.
