She doesn't speak about what happened. Not directly. Not yet. She writes it instead in fragments, in whispers, in red. ROOTS is not a traditional memoir. It's a body remembering. A girl vanishing. A woman returning through poems, letters, and the ghosts that won't let her go. "Some stories ain't meant to be told straight. Some got to be danced outta the bones." Told in a voice that is part stage, part prayer, part scream, ROOTS invites you to listen closely, but don't expect answers. Only echoes.

  • HER HEALER

She ran from the man who tried to silence her. She hid behind a name that wasn't her own. Inside the walls of a women's shelter, she learns what survival really means-friendship, strength, and a voice she thought she lost forever. But when her past comes crashing back, she must decide: keep hiding in the shadows, or step into the light and reclaim the name he tried to bury. A raw and empowering short story about loss, survival, and the courage to rise again.
