sooo, ya girl wrote a poetry book🤭

I’ve done so many things this year I couldn’t have dreamt of last year.

I’ve taken my story and shouted from rooftops.

I’ve traveled to new places and met so many incredible people.

now, I’m closing out this year with the biggest and most vulnerable announcement yet… you will be able to read the words on my heart and soul on january 5, 2026 - the two year anniversary of my diagnosis. I decided that day was mine to claim with something more than cancer uprooting everything I once knew.

it’s time to rewritešŸ¤

mark your calendars!
