edit data

AM . ALI, hails from the Caribbean on the small twin island of Trinidad and Tobago who pens and blots ink into Lilac poems. However, when she’s not spilling ink, you can find her immersed in the world of a good plot-twisting book, or vibing out to music that resonates with her soul or even enjoying a world of dark comedy K-dramas amongst a plethora of other things that brings joy to her soul.

You can connect with AM, via Instagram at @aminahwrites.

AM’s Quotes

“These mountains that you are carrying, you were only supposed to climb.”
― Najwa Zebian

tags: inspirational

“I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”
― Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me
