Published 'The Other Woman - A Memoir in Poetry'

A must read for any woman who has ever felt she was not enough. I offer opportunities for women to engage in conversations related to self-identity, self-care, self-worth, and the importance of releasing “who we truly are within” through the book itself and through motivational talks.
