Phyllis Wheatley was a young African woman who defied the odds of her time to become one of America's most celebrated poets. Born in West Africa and enslaved at just seven years old, Phyllis Wheatley's trajectory is a testament to resilience and the power of the human spirit. Despite the harsh realities of slavery, Phyllis's intellect and poetic talent shone brightly. Her remarkable abilities caught the attention of her enslavers, who recognized her extraordinary potential.

As we unravel Phyllis's life, we uncover the complexities of her experiences as an enslaved person in 18th-century America. From her early years of learning to read and write in secret, to the publication of her groundbreaking poetry collection, her story is one of triumph over adversity.
