Hello, I’m Rakaya. I write for the love of words and the way they capture moments to remember for years to come. For the past 6 years I’ve been leading writing and performance workshops for people from all walks of life, from hospital staff, law barristers, refugee community groups and thousands of school students every year, using a fervour for the written and spoken word to inspire creativity and confidence in unlikely storytellers and poets who didn’t know it. 

As well as receiving writing awards from the likes of the New York TV & Film Festival, Royal Holloway University of London and the Roundhouse Poetry Slam, my younger brother confirmed that I am “actually, pretty good”. When I am not working on my own poetry, fiction and theatre projects, I write for organisations and brands which have included Cartier, the UN and L'Occitane. 

I find joy in creating spaces of inspiration, connection and community and have hosted the Rumi's Cave Open Mic since 2020. Travel is a great love of mine, and a great teacher, where I’ve learned about myself, the world and made friends for life.

Beloved souls, I am Basirah Raheem, though many know me as Boshia Raejean. My heart beats in rhythm with the whispered wisdom of words and the vibrant embrace of nature.

My poetry collection, "The Dissolving Cloud," is a tender unfolding of my own spiritual odyssey  a journey homeward to love, guided by the gentle currents of "The Dissolving Method." This isn't just about putting pen to paper; it's about weaving the very act of writing into the fabric of soul-love, divine connection with God, and the grounding energy of nature.

Through The Dissolving Method Writers Salon, I hold sacred space for fellow word-weavers. Here, I guide you to "dissolve in love with your soul," to shed the layers that obscure your authentic expression, and to uncover the resonant frequency of your true voice. My workshops are invitations to dive deep into the wellspring of soul-love and to attune to the exquisite beauty of the natural world, allowing both to illuminate and deepen your spiritual path.

I've been blessed to share this sacred work in creative collaborations with kindred spirits at Warby Parker, BET, Parsons New School, the UN, and with beloved brands like Adidas, Nike, and TONYMOLY. Every endeavor is an affirmation of my deepest conviction: that through the act of writing, we can reveal the infinite, boundless essence that resides within every single one of us.
