by Jhené Aiko Efuru Chilombo, JhenéAiko Chilombo

Overview

Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Jhené Aiko Efuru Chilombo shares her most vulnerable and personal reflections in 2Fish, a raw and intimate poetry collection.

2Fish features a series of emotive poems and a few short stories written throughout Chilombo’s journey from adolescence to adulthood—captured in no particular order and pulled directly from the pages of her personal notebooks. These deeply personal writings reveal her emotional growth, spiritual depth, and inner voice with unfiltered honesty.

Written in Chilombo’s signature style, this poetry book is a reflection of the therapeutic power of writing and the courage it takes to share one’s truth. From heartbreak and healing to identity and transformation, 2Fish is a soulful companion for readers drawn to emotional poetry, journaling, and the healing nature of creative self-expression.

Editorial Reviews

"Her poetry book, 2Fish, will serve as a healing tool not only for herself but for others."

"The entire project is a brave effort by Aiko that will undoubtedly become a source of comfort for those who are looking to share their own personal journeys. 'Writing poetry has always been a form of therapy for me and has helped me get through difficult situations. When no one else understands, out journals can understand,' Aiko said."

"Her poetry reads like unfiltered diary entries, like when you had a crush in school but that person never has the slightest clue. There’s talk of getting plastic surgery, and feeling like she’s never enough for anyone or anything. The 29 year-old also fixates on those pubescent inchoate teenage feelings of inferiority. Nonetheless, it’s a collective sentiment even the most beautiful exhibit."
