In Kingdom of Gravity, he traces the shadows of dictatorship, displacement, and survival—turning personal history into lyrical testimony. His voice bridges continents and generations, fusing the sacred, the political, and the poetic into a form that vibrates with purpose. His poems speak to the trauma of migration and the resilience of Black identity, drawing on biblical imagery, jazz improvisation, and diasporic rupture. Transcript (Voiceover Excerpt): "Here is a burning bush. Moses was a fugitive who saw the whole of Egypt's harvest destroyed...
