In this solo spoken‑word piece, the performer invokes ancestral names and a lineage of power to assert personal freedom and gender reclamation. The speaker describes a journey of connecting with ancestral persistence, feeling magical and divine, and confronting external attempts to erase or silence them. Through rhythmic, lyrical language, they affirm resilience, the right to exist as a queer, gender‑nonconforming being, and a commitment to continue rising despite oppression.

Osahai, Magadongu Aku, Naika Ugu Aku, Naka Higu Maai. When I started to listen, all the power that's in me, from ancestors and persistence, taught me freedom, nam existing. Started to connect, feelings correct, they were magic, they were perfect. Learned everything, this matrix ain't nothing. Otherworldly, living boldly, feeling aligned, feeling divine, feelings are rhyme, almost sublime. Beauty designed, I am a crime, considered a threat. Take my breath, erase, they try, they lie and lie, but I'mma continue to fly.
