My love for poetry began when I was gifted a diary for my twelfth birthday. Having spent almost 20 years in the PR/advertising line, I mustered the courage and left the nine-to-five world to focus more on poetry writing. With over seventy poems in my personal collection, I hope to inspire young women to go on a journey of self-discovery while expressing themselves through the power of creativity. In this maiden collection, I delve into a personal account of life's epic shortfalls and how I find strength to let go, love again, and live whole-heartedly.
