Personal Growth Through Self-Reflection

Everyone knows life is hard
but sometimes it can feel
unforgiving. 

Indiana poet Aisha Tariqa
Abdul Haqq has been there,

done that, and has just
released a triumphant poem
that illustrates the journey.

Aisha Tariqa reminds readers
there's power in self-reflection,
and that the natural next step

when you're emerging from
hardship is growth.

Her poem captures themes
central to her two books
“Four Years in Chrysalis”
and “Acres of Shadow.” 

Indiana born and raised, Aisha Tariqa
transforms her own struggles as a young
Black woman coping with residual grief

and a childhood replete with adversity
into deeply insightful poetry that

illustrates the growth that can come from
suffering.

At age 21, Aisha Tariqa was determined to
break free from influences that all but

suffocated her hopes and ambitions as a
young Black girl growing up in Indiana. In
her latest poem, you can almost feel Aisha
Tariqa giving herself permission to exhale

and move forward.

If you're struggling to work things
out in your own life, grappling with
the whys and getting bogged down

in feelings of victimhood you'd
rather shed or ignore, Aisha Tariqa

lets you know you're not alone.

One must fashion a finish
line, she says. A horizon.
Something to guide you

forward.

Hungry for an abundant life built
on her own and fueled by

inexorable will, Aisha Tariqa
draws on self-reflection to realize
her potential, and you're invited to

come along for the ride.
