1st contribution to the literary world
Updated: Sep 17
It's such a feeling of triumph to have finally released my very 1st book of poetry! Today, December 24, 2021 (Christmas Eve!), marks the publication date of a project I've held very near to my heart for some time now. In becoming a published author, my life is evolving into an open-book and I'm humbled by my journey.
Butterfly, fly!: poems the touch on racial trauma, mental health, and spirituality is a compilation of transparent poems that have been in the works for over 10 years. As I continue to grow and evolve personally, it becomes more apparent that I must release in order to embrace the newness that awaits me. In sharing my scars and triumphs with the world, I hope that readers will become enlightened and/or inspired to become the best version of self.
I'm thrilled to contribute to the literary world and I look forward to what lies ahead! I look forward to continuing on my journey with a new level of freedom, hope, and determination. I look forward to the new words that will grace my page and eventually show up in print. Stay tuned, the best is yet to come! Let's all keep evolving as butterflies do!
