Phenomenal Woman Spotlight: Faith Knight – Writing Her Truth, One Poem at a Time

“Just like moons and like suns, with the certainty of tides…”
In the spirit of Maya Angelou’s timeless words, we honor a woman whose pen carries the weight of survival, the grace of healing, and the fierce radiance of womanhood.

Faith Knight is a Las Vegas-based poet, proud mother, and passionate sports fan. She uses writing as a tool for healing, reflection, and self-discovery. Her debut poetry collection, Bare It All, is an unfiltered dive into the beauty and brutality of her lived experiences. Through her words, Faith exposes her pain, her strength, and the quiet resilience that carries her forward. Her work doesn’t just tell a story—it bears witness.

Faith Knight’s journey is one of reclamation. A proud mother of two sons and a lifelong sports enthusiast, she channels her personal trials and emotional scars into her poetry, not for sympathy—but for transformation. “Writing is how I process. How I survive,” she says. “It’s how I bare it all.”

That phrase, Bare It All, also happens to be the title of her recently self-published debut poetry collection—a stunning, unflinching body of work where every line is laced with vulnerability, rage, resilience, and radiance. In it, Knight doesn’t shy away from the complexity of womanhood. One moment she is invisible, another she is a goddess in full bloom. One stanza aches with anxiety, another pulses with pleasure and praise.

While we can’t publish her full poems here (you’ll need to grab a copy of the magazine for that), we can tell you this—her poem “Bare it all” is a mirror held up to the soul. In just a few lines, she explores the dualities of self-love and shame, invisibility and allure, pain and pleasure. Her words shimmer with honey and gold, yet never hide the trauma that shaped them. She is both beauty and brokenness, wrapped in melanin and power.

Currently pursuing a master’s degree in Psychology, Knight is working on a novel that dives even deeper into the trauma behind the poetry. It’s a narrative she feels compelled to tell—a full journey from pain to purpose.

Faith Knight is not just a writer. She’s a witness. A warrior. A woman unafraid to speak her truth—even when her voice shakes. In honoring Maya Angelou’s legacy, we proudly recognize Faith as a modern-day phenomenal woman, using her pen as a tool of healing and a weapon of light.
