Divided into three parts, This Woman is Still Girl is a coming of age story told through poetry. Part One (Is Girl) unravels navigating puberty and sexuality, being slut shamed, the exclusion of being a child of mixed race and the strained relationship between mother and daughter.

Part Three (Is Woman) is about understanding who you were and who you are now with strength, resilience, healing, bravery and imperfection.Girl is roots,becoming someone.Woman is bloom, coming unleashed.This book is for the girls that lie(d) in bed at night feeling like they are not enough to fill the space that’s been given to them, feeling forsaken and aching to be loved. It’s to tell women they are not alone.

Keep Me Wild was written to remind you to not let them keep you contained. Do not let them tell you how to live, how to laugh, how to love or how to heal. In this collection of poetry I have written from my experience of loving, breaking and healing, places we all have been and hopefully these words will help you mend.
