What notable things happened today?
While receiving this certificate empowers me and motivates me to write more, it doesn’t define me. My writing was used as therapy for my recovery from surgery and expanded from there. I hope that it resonates with my audience and helps them feel less alone in a world that has the need to isolate people by creating labels for them to seperate them from one another. Through this, they leave little room for compassion and humanity to connect, but divides.
Another thing that made me proud is the fact that I’m getting 1 poem published in an anthology, and another piece of writing as well. Both are a part of The Unsealed online magazine.

My poetry book, Perfectly Flawed poetry for change, is available on all eplatforms including Amazon. It was on the finalist list for the Canadian Book Club Awards 2023.
