Late to post this but this was from the 1st Open Mic held at ! Had a great time getting to perform “Can You See?” for the crowd, plus met a lot of amazing poets and performers from the community. Sold a couple books, got a couple books—overall a great experience! 🫶🏾

Happy World Book Day! 🫶🏾📚 Featuring my current favorite book 😏 It’s still National Poetry Month too, so I’m really hitting all the bases!

It’s a gorgeous day in the ATL, so what is this book-lover gonna do? Mostly likely hit up my local Black-owned bookstore . Today, like every day, is a great day to support your local indie minority owned bookstores! (not sponsored, just speaking truth 😌)

22/04/2022

Coming to the stage at Thursday Night Open Mic with , it’s ✨yours truly✨ performing one of the pieces from my book called Release (page 78 😉) Huge shoutout to all the other incredible poets and performers tonight, I really felt like I came home ☺️

Happy Pub Day to me!!! 💃🏾 Today is the official release of The Rebirth of a Phoenix! I picked this day for release because it is also officially Spring, being that today is The Spring Equinox! And what a beautiful day it is, at least here in Georgia. This collection of poetry is representative of coming into my own again after trauma and DV, of using my voice again to express all parts of me. So today is special for so many reasons, and I’m glad to be sharing it with all of you ☺️

You can find The Rebirth of a Phoenix on my website as well as on Amazon right now in both print and E-book format—the Amazon listing might be changing in a few days but it will always be on my website if you cannot find it on Amazon at any point ✊🏾

Happy Spring 🌸

ONE. MORE. DAY!!! 💃 Today is the last day before my book is published! It's also the last full day for preorders! Make sure you get them in before 12pm EST tomorrow so that it can ship out with the batch of books going out by Monday. 🙂

This last excerpt is a reflection of the anxiety and questioning that comes with growth, with perspective changes, and with leaving situations that did not serve you. If you have ever come to know who you are for yourself, despite feeling that maybe you're fooling yourself, this collection may resonate with you 🤗

2 more days til the publication of The Rebirth of a Phoenix! I'm sooooooo excited y'all!

Another tough one. It's difficult to recognize that sometimes you cannot rely on others to be your light. You gotta shine for yourself. For anyone who is still finding the confidence to shine for yourself, this collection might resonate with you 🌈

3 more days til the publication of The Rebirth of a Phoenix!

This poetry except is from one of the more difficult sections of poems in my collection. From a poem that describes verbal abuse without even realizing that's what was happening. This is one of my advance warnings that 🚨some of this poetry is not easy to read🚨, especially if you have ever been in a situation like I was. However, I do think it's important to shed light on the issues of domestic/relationship violence and hopefully by sharing we can help to end the stigma so that nobody has to feel they are going through this alone. If you consider yourself to be a survivor, this collection might resonate with you 💜

16/03/2022

4 more days til the publication day of The Rebirth of a Phoenix!

Have you ever found yourself standing at the crossroads of a decision? Where you cannot clearly justify going one way over the other, but have a deep gut feeling that one way will wind up getting you hurt? But still feel the draw anyways? Then this collection might resonate with you 🙂

15/03/2022

5 more days until the publication date of The Rebirth of a Phoenix! I truly cannot wait to share this book with y'all! As promised, the next several days will feature excerpts from different poems in my book 😁

This first snippet is a manifestation of some of the ways I tried to speak life into myself towards the beginning of my time in college. This is the part of the journey where the main character hasn't even figured out she's the main character yet. If you've ever felt that you needed to assure and validate yourself to move forward in your life, this collection might resonate with you 🌟
