“Former City of Edmonton Youth Poet Laureate, Timiro Mohamed, makes a spellbinding debut with her first poetry collection, Incantations of Black Love. Drawing on references from pop culture and her Somali heritage alike, Mohamed deftly weaves lines throughout her poetry that make us feel seen, heard and, often, held accountable. Be sure to check out this publication’s impressive complimentary EP and music video, featuring fellow vocal artists, D’orjay The Singing Shaman and Kija Lado, music producer Kaz Mega, and photographer and videographer Faisa Omer.”

Timiro Mohamed is a multidisciplinary artist and anti-racism educator inspired by the generations of storytellers before her. She is a visual artist, spoken word poet, and published poetry author and columnist. As Edmonton’s former youth poet laureate and recipient of the ACGC Top 30 under 30 awards, she has performed across North America, competed at the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word and opened for Dr. Angela Davis and Yasin Bey. She's passionate about the uses of art in community development, anti-racist education, and political advocacy, and looks to an Afro-futurist Black feminist praxis to inform her creative process and approach to systems change.
