Strong Words for the Week

By: Sherod "Sha Stimuli" Khaalis

Strong Words for the Week is a collection of poetic, inspirational, and thought-provoking verses interwoven with reflective dissections. Sha Stimuli transformed his spoken-word, a cappella BarTalk series into twenty-six written motivational pieces chronicling his personal growth and evolution through one half of a calendar year. Strong Words for the Week is a rhythmic journal that combines the elements of a stellar poetry anthology, a self-help narrative, and an autobiographical testimony describing one man's journey to enlightenment.
