"Though she be but little, she is fierce." William Shakespeare

Malkia’s Poetry

Malkia:  Poet, student, sister, daughter…refugee.

Malkia and the She-Is-Fierce Team

I had the privilege of meeting and interviewing Malkia and was amazed by her intelligence, warmth, joyful spirit, and most of all, her smile!  Read more about her HERE!

Malkia is a refugee born and raised in Rwanda.  She came to the US in 2016 and at the time could not speak English.  One year later, she was writing poetry.  I am so glad that I was able to meet Malkia. This girl is the epitome of what “She is Fierce” is all about. Malkia has become a hero and role model to me!

Read her touching and powerful messages!

 

Malkia wrote this poem after Antoine, her dear friend, died.
