I never thought that I would be a writer.
It was a fleeting dream I had as a schoolgirl. A dream that was extinguished by external expectations, parental pressure and a self-image that was a work in progress. Cue 2020 when like many, I was afforded more time to reflect and be honest with myself. Out poured the poems, the spoken word, the short stories, and the hunger for creativity.
Life is a work in progress. Writing helps me to navigate life. Perhaps my words will stir something inside you; a long-forgotten passion, an overdue conversation with self or maybe they will move you to nod in recognition. And that is enough for me.
I am still learning and growing. I would love to share my journey with you in the hope that you feel seen, heard and acknowledged. Community is powerful, come and join this one.
