Behind the Veil

Adebimpe Oluwafunmilayo Adeyemi (Fumsymoon) is a curator of lived experiences, a continuing student of the school of life. Fumsymoon’s writing is an extension of her practice which is anchored on amplifying life, living and the many motions of survival that we adopt as humans.

Fumsymoon is a poet, lawyer and editor whose artistic preoccupation intersects art, writing and activism. She writes from the crossing of the influences of her academic and career background and her desire to facilitate the creation of a better world with her words.

Fumsymoon’s poetry is direct and refuses distance. It riles against the culture of silence and the idea that some topics need to be spoken about in hushed tones. Fumsymoon welcomes you to see yourself in the walls of her poems, to speak up, lend a voice, to engage in a fellowship of suffering and a kindredness in shared vulnerabilities.
