    Why I'm Here
    Apr 30 2026

    For 30 years, I kept parts of my story hidden. Childhood sexual abuse. Reproductive coercion. Domestic violence. Cancer at 21.

    I stayed silent because I thought that’s what was required of me.

    But silence comforts everyone except the person carrying the weight.

    I’m Shamiria Ty’Quaile Bailey. I’m a modern-day griot. And I tell war stories from the battlefield of life.

    This is why I’m breaking my silence. This is why I’m launching No Suga on the Rocks.

    This is just the beginning.
