This is for the girl who has been doubting herself for so long, she has forgotten what it feels like not to.

I was that girl. I write so that you know — whatever you are carrying — you are not as alone in it as you think.

Silence is not absence.

It is something learned.

And so is voice.

I turn silence into voice

Memoir, meaning, and tools for self-mastery — built for the ones who had to become their own home.

Wind of Belonging — A Memoir

A story of survival, memory, identity, and the courage to rise.

Wind of Belonging is my debut memoir — a deeply personal journey through childhood, trauma, resilience, and the search for home.
It is a book for anyone who has lived through silence, carried the weight of the past, or wondered where they truly belong.

This memoir is not just my story.
It is a mirror, an offering, and a path toward healing.

Why I Write.

My work is rooted in truth-telling, emotional courage, and the belief that healing begins with naming what hurt us. I write to help others remember who they were before the world dimmed their light — and to walk them back home to themselves.

Truth-telling: Turning silence into language
Belonging: Helping others feel seen, and understood
Healing: Transforming wounds into wisdom
Courage: Choosing your voice over fear
