Praise for honeybee
'She brings footnotes to the forefront, decolonizing her heart and thoughts from those coercive frameworks that have for generations passed as common sense. With these raw and honest poems, Rideau dissects the dominant hierarchies, cultures, and caste systems that have othered and devalued her, and she reimagines a world anew that includes, encourages, and elevates her, and you, us ... the collective beehive.'
Julián Esteban Torres López, founding editor of The Nasiona, and author of Ninety-two Surgically Enhanced Mannequins: A Micro-poetry Collection
'Every stanza bristles with love and empathy. This book isn't just a collection of wonderful poems, it's also a personal journey and a blueprint for a better world.'
Martin Grey, author of The Prettyboys of Gangster Town
'A must-read from a fabulous up and coming poet.'
Afshan D'souza-Lodhi, author of [re:desire]
'Through the vehicle of the brown girl experience, Angela explores the difficult questions and the relationships female and female-identifying members of the diaspora have to their culture. Firmly in the ranks of works of contemporaries like Nikesh Shukla or Rupi Kaur.'
Shawn Basheer, founder of South Asians Film, T.V and Arts Collective (S.A.F.T.A.C)
