hey stole our bodies.
But not our brilliance.
They scattered our names.
But not our spirit.

“We Are The Stolen But Not The Lost” is a stirring spoken word piece that honors the unbreakable spirit of the African diaspora. This is a poem of memory and fire—of pain passed down, but also of power reclaimed.

Written by Melvin Wilcox & Nova, it echoes across generations, calling us home not just to a place, but to ourselves.

We are the return. We are the rise.

📚 Inspired by the Afro-futurist novel The Second Exodus – Launching Sept 10, 2025
