My published book

Dear First Book,

I should’ve been more patient and gentle with you the first time.

You always deserved love, intention, and to be handled with care.

So, I gave you a better name.

I gave you better pages.

And now, I’m giving you the moment you were always meant to have.

Introducing:

Handle with Care: Stories for Black Women

Now available on Kindle.

Softcover coming soon.

This time, we’re doing it right. 💫Baltimore #blackgirlwriters #fyp #published #blackwriters #shortstories

... Read moreThe journey of publishing a book can be both exhilarating and daunting. 'Handle with Care: Stories for Black Women' stands as a testament to patience and dedication in the literary world. With a focus on authentic experiences and powerful narratives, this collection aims to uplift and empower Black women writers and readers alike. In today's literary landscape, representation matters tremendously, and this book seeks to fill that gap by amplifying diverse voices and stories that reflect the richness of Black womanhood. As more readers look for authentic content, works like these highlight the importance of storytelling in healing and personal growth. In addition to the hardcover release soon to follow, readers can embrace the digital version available on Kindle, making these impactful stories easily accessible. The hashtags associated with this project such as #blackgirlwriters and #blackwriters speak to a vibrant community fostering collaboration and support among writers. As we celebrate the publication of this book, we invite storytellers and book lovers alike to join this enriching conversation, promoting the recognition and appreciation of literature centered on Black women's experiences.
