Goodreads asked Ayokunle Falomo:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Ayokunle Falomo " I’ve always had a fascination with stories, and quite recently the desire to learn more about what it means to be human drove me to write poems to answer the question. I was working on a collection last year to that effect but it eventually morphed into something similar yet somewhat different, and this is how this published collection came about. This, I feel, is the right time to contribute to the conversation that’s happening worldwide about whose story is worth listening to. Everyone wants their story to be shared, to be heard, and this is my way of saying that your thread (be it yellow, or red) is worthy of addition to this tapestry of what we call humanity."
