Tyesha "Pocah" Johnson writes under the name Pocah, a storyteller from the Bronx who turns real block life into unforgettable fiction. Her Taveyah series follows one girl's journey from childhood innocence to hard-won strength, with every page carrying the voice, grit, and heart of where she's from.

Pocah writes fiction rooted in truth, the kind of stories that make readers see themselves, their block, and their people on the page.
