'I never set out to be a poet but poetry for me is a mode of communication that breaks barriers, there’s a poet in everyone'
Using poetry to break taboos and misconceptions, Ravelle-Sadé Fairman didn’t set out to be a poet. After Ravelle-Sadé's grandma who was an ‘influential part’ of her life passed away, to articulate her feelings, a poem came to her in Bulwell bus station which she wrote away on her phone.
Writing poems about Windrush and the Commonwealth, Ravelle-Sadé isn’t forgetting her roots or failing to shine a light on the inequalities and mistreatment people have faced. Mental health is also another important topic Ravelle-Sadé writes about. Suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Mixed Anxiety-Depressive Disorder, breaking the taboo is important for the poet.
She continued: “I’ve done workshops in schools and it’s amazing, you plant a seed and watch it grow. I go to inspire the children but I leave being inspired by them. “I decided to write my books because people were saying, ‘I really want to digest what you’re saying.’
