childofafricansoilpress poetry collection

available on amazon amazon link

this is my first published book — a gathering of the moments, lessons, and quiet awakenings that shaped me.

each poem holds a piece of my becoming, the boundaries i learned to honour, and the softness i returned to.

i wrote this collection during a season of deep reflection, healing, and choosing myself.

poetry allowed me to give language to the parts of myself i had learned to silence — the parts shaped by what i witnessed, what i listened to, and what the world taught me to tuck away.

the versions of me that hid behind masks, that longed to speak but never felt invited, and the self who slowly, gently, through learning to slow down and listen inwardly, realised there was room to let go of what no longer belonged to my becoming.

this book is my offering to anyone who has ever had to rebuild gently, or learning to find their way back to their own voice.

may these words meet you with understanding, and give you the courage to begin — or begin again — in your own time.

“i learned that becoming myself began with gentleness — not with waiting for the world to understand or agree, but with allowing myself to pause, breathe, and grow at my own pace.”

more to come

i’m still writing, still becoming. there will be more books, more words, more pieces of my journey to share in time.
