Ashé "Ché" Sankofa Pembrooke is longing for something more than a life spent in her quiet apartment in the slowly gentrifying city of Brooklyn, New York. Being 22 years old and a naturopathic healer opened doors to only so many adventures. She needed a push out of the birds nest, and she finally gets one when her best friend tries to make sparks fly with unwanted advances. Realizing she can no longer cling to him for the sake of her livelihood, she ventures off to meet new people and places.
When life gives her lemons, she attempts to find some better fruit instead.

The space between
She's not the woman she thought she was - not the calm, controlled one. Torn between the weight of her mistakes and the pain of what's been taken from her, she's spiraling through anger, heartbreak, and a desperate need to be seen. This isn't about perfect love or clean endings. It's about the messy, real battle inside a woman who's learning to face her darkest truths... and maybe, just maybe, find a way back to herself. No apologies. No filter. Just Angela.

The Shadow of Comparison
"Growing up in someone else's shadow taught me one thing: finding myself was the hardest-and most beautiful-journey of all." School was supposed to be easy-a place to learn, laugh, and grow. But for her, it quickly became anything but simple. 🌿 Everyone around her seemed brighter, bolder, better. Every whispered compliment, every small success she didn't have, made her question herself. Slowly, the shadow of comparison began to follow her everywhere. Then college arrived-bigger, more dazzling, and full of surprises she never saw coming. Friendships that challenged her, choices that tested her, and moments that made her heart ache in ways she didn't expect. Could she navigate this new world without losing herself? From quiet school corridors to late-night reflections, from self-doubt to self-discovery, this story is about growing up, facing unexpected twists, and finding the courage to step out of the shadows. If you loved "The Goodbye We Never Said," you'll recognize the familiar struggles and heartfelt moments-and maybe even find yourself rooting for her as she learns to shine in her own light.Complete

I didn't plan on healing that summer. I just wanted the wine to numb me not change me. But somewhere between heartbreak, secrets, late-night group chats, and wine in the bathtub... I stopped waiting to be chosen.. And started pouring for myself. Nia Carter was never the loudest girl in the room, but she was always the one with the loudest thoughts, especially when everything around her started shifting. Between her aunt's wild advice, friendships that cracked under pressure, the boy from back then, and the unexpected new guy who actually listens... this summer becomes one long, messy, soul-shaking reset. This isn't your typical love story. This is for the girls who've been left on read, cried in parking lots, poured their last glass, and still kept it cute. It's about choosing yourself.
