In Black Lilith Rising, a’driane explores historical, mythological, and liberatory Black feminist and divine feminine  figures—both iconic and personal, including women in her own family—to examine how women and femmes have harnessed power and a full emotional range across time. Through this lens, she shares her own journey of self-actualization, mapping the psychological and somatic terrain of womanhood. Her work reveals how sacred rage and beauty are not opposites, but intertwined forces—capable of transforming one another and giving rise to something powerful and new.
