Story
Nyilah Thomas
(she/her/hers) Mentee
From the tender age of 11, Nyilah Bree Thomas always adored putting pen to paper (now thumbs to screen) anything that her mind could come up with, and she referred to this as “poetry.” Free from any and all colloquialisms, she writes for her very life. A few years later, she continues to write just about new experiences. Majoring in Social Work and minoring in Creative Writing and Psychology, Nyilah plans to utilize her formal education and passion for writing when engaging with vulnerable populations within society.

Artist‘s Statement
As an emerging writer, I strive to write about ordinary experiences from alternative perspectives. These experiences include odes to living in New York City, weird train experiences, lonely nights, failed relationships, random prompts on Pinterest, and, profoundly, her insights into religious sectors. I explore these topics through poetry, prose, and, more recently, personal essays.
