Experience My Mother’s Pain

It all begins with a memory. Perhaps it’s the permeation of a tender voice chanting the impossibilities of healing and change… perhaps it’s the blood of my fifteenth great grandmother wielding a shotgun with a baby slung on her shoulders as it courses through my veins.

Whatever it is, I feel it. I feel it like the burning of a million tears and the breaking of a thousand bones. Listen to a sample of why I Am My Mother’s Pain.

"A refreshingly honest, raw and thought provoking collection. Thank you for being brave enough to bare your soul for the sake of healing for the reader.”

“This is a collection of poems that tells a story of pain, neglect and trauma while detailing the process of healing, understanding and self-actualization. It is a brief but powerful read that will leave you encouraged and validated.”

—Erin Shuford

“I can’t say enough about the transformative healing that this book inspires. I had to sit with myself and unpack a lot of heaviness that I inherited as a Black woman. Beautiful.”
