\ud83c\udf49 Poet and storyteller writing from inside the shadows. Here to make you feel with depth, find hope, sometimes laugh, and feel less alone in this extraordinarily dark and absurd dumpster fire we call life. \ud83d\udda4\ud83d\udd25 Also, I sub back \ud83d\ude1c

Time keeps rollin’ and we knows thinkin’ ain’t cheap. Two ideas enter, one idea leaves. That’s the reckonin’. One breaks, one’s born again. We tell it so we don’t forget who we was or what we thought, and we ‘member the spark that walked out alive.

A lawyer-writer exposing the emotional truth of modern work. Where law, identity, and survival collide. Mother. Storyteller. Writing from the messy middle of life, and questioning how we lead, what we value, and the systems we serve.

Self-published author. Former international journalist. 4 books selected for the Amazon HarperCollins Prize (Dec 2025). I write from the ashes, between art and survival, carving light out of the unseen. The door is open. Enter. Stay.

I write UFiction. Uncomfortable Fiction, which turns the mirror around. You come for a story about AI, religion, or violence. You stay because it marked you. Because you realized it was always about YOU. Come for the story. Stay for the scar.

Word Whittler. From Wild Places where Faith is teeth & bone. Unarmored love, bleeding without quitting, standing with no bargains. For you who prayed angry, forgave freely, and kept going through echoing silence.
