I know that my experiences are unique but my hope is that Black women, all over the world, will read this collection and find a sense of sisterhood, feel seen, and feel heard within my poetry. I also invite women and men of other races to read these poems, because there is something in there for everyone, especially if you have experienced living with depression or anxiety. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe poems are candid, thoughtful, and vulnerable, and I consider them a love letter to Black women everywhere. Your voice matters, you do not have to be strong all of the time, and you deserve to rest and have peace in your life. I hope this book speaks to your heart and to your mind. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExcerpt from the Book: \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI shout it from the rooftops\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand I whisper it in my dreams...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniverse, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eremove anyone from my life\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewho means me harm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eor wishes ill against me...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edirect their steps away from me\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewith full speed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand make no exceptions...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have no room in my life\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efor the burden of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efailed good intentions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Townsend, Diana\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/25\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Diana Townsend\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798215264423\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.33d","brand":"Diana Townsend","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39948546637899,"sku":"9798215264423","price":13.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_773c5329-4084-4a2d-a920-cabb1d95561a.jpg?v=1674050352","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/black-girl-evolving-poetry-9798215264423","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
