📚✨ I’m sitting on 4 manuscripts I know will one day be on shelves worldwide. My faith & will make it as true as the characters in my head. The thrill? Not knowing which book will be the one. But I’ve got a feeling and it’s good. Speaking it into existence. 💜 #AmWriting #AuthorLife

☕💜 Okay Brew Crew, trying to stay calm DVpit is next week! I’m excited + nervous. Querying so many agents at once is daunting but thrilling. Even with a full request, I’ve gotta keep pushing my voice & manuscripts out there. Wish me luck! ✨📚 #AmQuerying #AuthorLife

Sundays = self-care, reflection, and yep…house chores. 🧼 As I scrubbed the tub, the softest breeze slipped through the window. Moments like this remind me to be grateful for the good, the bad, the ugly, and the unknown. Faith over everything. I will succeed. ✨ #SundayVibes #Faith #AuthorLife

✍🏾 Writing. 🗑 Editing. 📬 Querying. ❌ Rejections. ⚡ Pitch events.
The grind never ends—and I wouldn’t have it any other way. This path doesn’t stop, and it won’t stop. Every word, every “no,” every pitch is one step closer to the “yes.” 💜📚

Start your week like it’s already yours.
No more shrinking. No more apologizing for being a little too loud, too deep, or too damn real.
Start like you mean it.

Plot twist: I don’t write to be liked.
I write to be felt.
So no, I’m not for everybody—and that’s kind of the point.
#BruteCreations is coming. And the crown? It was never theirs to give.

On this Juneteenth, I honor the ones who carried the fire when the world gave them ashes.
I write because they couldn’t.
I create because we still need stories where we are more than survival—we are legacy.
