A soft audio piece from Soft Letters to the Body, a weekly series that centres on features and traits the world hasn’t always known how to honour.
This week, we return to brown skin.
To warmth, to memory, to the quiet ways the body has always protected itself.
A gentle space to listen, to feel, and to begin again, in your own skin.
Note: I’m still new to recording audio, and I’m learning as I go. I’m always open to gentle feedback on the sound, pacing, or quality. You may notice a slight echo in this piece — I’ll be re-recording it in the near future as this evolves. Soon, all audio pieces will also be available on SoundCloud, for those who prefer to listen more freely.
This month, I’m writing through my diasporic journey, slowly, piece by piece, laying the foundation for this publication.
Soon, I’ll also be sharing a spoken exploration of Pairon Mein Bandhan Hai, moving through the song with care, feeling, and attention to what lingers beneath it.
