Book excerpt: My Soul Told On Me is a dynamic memoir that depicts a series of vivid personal realities through the lens of my soul. Each word holds its own weight and its own story to collectively convey the imperfect masterpiece of my journey toward mastering peace. This memoir gives you what you need—the safe space to be and the permission to feel, deeply. It serves as the vessel of unshaken truth and conversationally narrates the raw process in facing and fully accepting my flawed self. Through poems, mininarratives , and prose, my soul respectively colors the prominence in finding, owning, and staying true to self. Although the waves do start off a bit rocky, the manifestation of undeniable growth transcends it all, unapologetically combining who I am and who I will be. This work—my work—shares the unrefined and authentic blueprint in uncovering and valuing myself, my love, and my soul. Here, I reclaim everything that fruitfully serves my being as a multidimensional whole.
