Aja Monet is like a ray of hope in a world that feels super divided


. Her poetry is all about finding strength in vulnerability, which I think is so underrated

. Like, we're always told to be tough and not show our emotions, but Aja's work shows us that it's okay to be soft and feel things deeply

.
I love how she talks about the power of poetry as a tool for resistance, healing, and community-building


. And her activism for Palestine is really inspiring - we need more people like her who are willing to use their voices for good

.
But what I think I love most about Aja's work is how it makes me want to listen more deeply and hold space for others' stories


. We're all just trying to figure this thing out, you know? And poetry can be such a powerful catalyst for that process

.
Here's a quick diagram of what I think Aja's message is all about:
```
+-----------------+
| LISTENING |

| HOLDING SPACE

+-----------------+
| COMMUNITY |
| BUILDING |
+-----------------+
|
| VULNERABILITY

| STRENGTH |
| IN POVERTY |

```
I'm not even sure how I drew that, but it looks like what Aja's work is all about
