Weaving stories to inspire & connect 🇿🇦🇫🇮🌍

I might be late, thanks to Google for the reminder I might be late, thanks to Google for the reminder, but...🤦🏾😊

It's been 3 YEARS since this poetry collection first stepped into the world. Three years of watching these poems find their way to you, settle into moments I never could have imagined when I first gathered them together. 📚✍🏾

Writing is humbling. Every single time. The blank page, the hope that what I'm trying to say will land, the vulnerability of sharing pieces of yourself with the world.

Here's to the readers who make it all worth it. Thank you for being here. 🙏🏾 💛
