About Me


What's up everyone! I am Kaya Davis bka Lady Wisdom , your host for this poetic journey. I have been writing poetry since I learned how to spell. Dont worry it got a lot better. I'm the mother of five beautiful children and I reside in the DC metropolitan area. I was born in Durham, NC on February 17, 1972 but I was raised in Washington, DC by my great-grandmother. Early in life, I decided to use writing to help relieve the frustrations and pains I felt. I continue to use my writing for my own personal growth and to help others in any way possible.
I self-published my first two books in 2001. For a Chosen Generation is a small collection of inspirational poetry. I began when I was sixteen years old. Both the manuscript and author endured years of transformation until a small but powerful product was produced. My second book, Somewhere Inside of Me: A Journey Through My Life, is a collection of autobiographical poems and spoken word pieces. The collection consists of sections that covered various areas of my life; from my sensuality to my spirituality. Those who have read the collection come away with a strong since of empowerment and the courage to face lifes conflicts. Both collections were printed in limited quantity but will be made available once again very soon.
In addition, I have also combined, Unspoken Words, a collection of self-empowering essays and articles to be published as well. I currently have several other writing projects that I will be sharing with the public in the very near future.
I hope you are all looking forward to reading my newly released book Anatomy of a Love Jones . It is a poetic journey through a year-long love jones. Ever had one of those? Its crazy! If youve never had one, you have been spared and now you can read all about it. If you are one of the many former Love Jones members, then pull out a box of tissues and reminisce. So run to the fridge, get yourself a cup of cherry Kool-aid and chill with me.
Now, sit back and enjoy all the poetry, spoken word and prose.

I would be honored if you joined the Anatomy of a Love Jones Poets group. Anatomy of a Love Jones Poets is a group for poets who understand what writing from the heart really is... What writing from that most painful place in our heart really feels like. They have either read Kaya Davis's book Anatomy of a Love Jones or they have experienced the pain that a Love Jones brings.
This group is for poets, spoken word artist and lovers of good writing.

Influences: When I first started writing, my poetry was very flowery. Then I heard about Sonia Sanchez. That was back in 94 maybe 96. I went to the library and checked out all her books. I read a poem called A Poem for Some Women. It touched me so deeply that I had to put the book down for a couple of days. I was like Wow! I can say that? I can tell people how I really feel? My writing has never been the same since. Sonia Sanchez is my all time hero.

On a personal level, my 19 year old is a hero to me. In spite of all the drama that we have had as a family she graduated at the top of her class and is doing her thing at Hampton University. I am SOOOOO proud of her. She inspires me when I cant see my way.
