POET BIO: Meet Camilla. She is deeply respectful of her heritage. She is the keeper of her roots and a collector of memories. She gathered the stories of strength from the generations before her and carries them each as a whisper in her heart. This respect for her culture is the grounding force that shapes her purpose.

She believes she is the living continuation of her ancestors’ dreams. She works to honor the hands that built the path she walks on. She believes the past doesn’t hold her back but it lifts her up.

ROOTED

I carry echoes in my pocket

Of those who built my path

Like them I fight for air

For time to dream

For the rhythm of courage

To fortify my bones

I work in their shadow

And I bloom

Rooted in their soil

Grateful

Unfinished

Alive

Because they first were
