HAIKU BY NPENDA FOFANA, NYC

Npenda Fofana lives in Bronx. She is 8 years old and she goes to elementary school. Her father was an undocumented immigrant deported by ICE back to Senegal. Her mother is undocumented immigrant too. Npenda and her five brothers and sisters are American citizens living every single dayin uncertainty. Yesterday, Npenda wrote her first haiku:

I am very short.
I don't like to tell my age.
I go to meetings.
