I had the honor of writing a feature on The Social Soirée and Bremerton Backpack Brigade for Bremerton Neighbors magazine — two organizations that are doing incredible work right here in our community. From creating meaningful spaces for connection to providing essential food support for local families, these groups are making a real difference.

It was a privilege to help share their stories and highlight the heart behind the work they do every day.

I am SO honored to have been invited back to Awakenings Art to feature another poem.

A lot has happened between the first time I published with them and now. And I wanted to showcase some of that growth. I wanted to share a poem of duality: hating your trauma & having some of that hatred bleed over into your own self image. and then learning how to fall in love with yourself again, and come back into relationship with your mind and body.

My poem, “Healing,” was featured in Awakenings Art Issue 8, Those Who Help. They asked writers to show them what it looks like to help a survivor, to be helped as a survivor, and what it looks like when someone cannot help or chooses not to help.
