Turning pain into power and wounds into wisdom
Welcome
This space continues the themes explored in I’m Not My Story: A Poetic Journey of Healing.
Through reflective essays and personal writing, these pieces explore healing, identity, trust, and the ongoing process of understanding ourselves and the world more deeply.
If you’d like to continue with this work, I share additional essays and reflections on Substack.
My First Public Poetry Reading
A public poetry reading became much more than sharing my work. It marked the moment I stopped seeing myself through the filter of my past and began experiencing myself through the person I had become.
