About the Book
is a powerful poetry collection that explores self-love, grief, family, wisdom, identity, and rebirth through the lens of a two-spirit, transgender, Indigenous, and Black woman. Blending raw honesty with lyrical beauty, these poems trace a journey from pain to healing, from silence to voice, and from survival to self-discovery.
With deeply emotional storytelling and spiritual reflection, the author brings readers into the lived experience of holding multiple identities while reclaiming power, purpose, and wholeness.
Each piece offers insight into the duality of the sacred feminine and divine masculine within, celebrating the balance of strength and vulnerability.
This book is for anyone who has ever felt unseen, misunderstood, or fragmented-and is ready to rise, heal, and become extraordinary.
