The Sounded-Word Aesthetics: Black Girl Covenant and the Fire Commandments
International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), v34 n6 p549-561 2021
My article 'The Sounded-Word Aesthetics' explores the ways that Black girls make spirit felt as found in the music created in Saving Our Lives Hear Our Truths (SOLHOT). SOLHOT is a collective space of organizing with Black girls to celebrate Black girlhood. Using personal narrative alongside black feminist, womanist, and black girlhood scholarship, I argue that spirit is made felt through the aesthetics of Black girl covenant and the fire commandments. I conclude that sounded-word aesthetics allows Black girls to be heard differently while resisting dominant narratives of black girls and pushes us into a desirable future.
