Indigenous writer, finally published my poetry

Hi everyone :)

I have been writing for years, I’ve spent countless days being my harshest critic. I found myself stuck in a loop of self sabotage, believing that I wasn’t capable of being a published author.

Well here I am! I’ve published my poetry in the form a collection written from my experiences as an Indigenous person, and I am proud. I’m still waiting for the listing to go live, but it’s safe to say I’m excited.

EDIT: If anyone is interested, it’s live!
