In this soulful episode of The GRLPWRDEN Podcast, Emily sits down with Ninaa, a Bantu poet and multimedia creative from Kenya whose work celebrates resilience, identity, and the human experience. Ninaa shares how poetry and music became natural vessels for her voice, mental health, and creative expression, and how she’s learning to take slow risks as she steps deeper into spoken word. She even reads a new poem for us!
From her immigrant experience to navigating intersectional identities, Ninaa explores the ways gratitude, faith, and community can serve as sources of power. She shares how journaling has helped her reclaim her voice, why resilience is like a wildflower seed, and how she continues to write boldly—despite the noise, contradictions, and systemic barriers around her.
We talk about:
✨ The rhythm of poetry and music as a form of empowerment
✨ Writing as mental health practice and reclaiming personal power
✨ Taking slow, intentional risks in creative work
✨ Feminine rage, love, and the wisdom of Bell Hooks’ All About Love
✨ Balancing faith, heritage, and multiple perspectives in identity
✨ The importance of accountability, growth mindset, and community
✨ Rejecting nihilism in the face of systemic challenges while pouring into collective power
Ninaa’s story is a reminder that your voice matters, that resilience grows in waiting periods, and that reclaiming your identity—step by step—is an act of power.
This episode is for anyone ready to explore their creative expression, honor their multifaceted identity, and claim the power inherent in their own story.
Reminder:The guests on GRLPWRDEN speak from personal experience. Their views might not reflect your own—or even mine—and that’s exactly the point. This space is about exploration, not echo chambers. And we don’t always find the perfect words or explanations, but we are here trying—because growth happens when we lean into the messiness and keep showing up.
