Publisher's Synopsis
What does it mean to live your truth even if that truth is having to own parts of your life you wished never existed? Traumas mold and shape us, yet many choose not to unpack the hurt, allowing it to consume them. There are warrior souls who make the choice to fight through the shame, hurt, and guilt. This sets them on the path to healing and putting in the work to process what happened, how it affects them, and learning healthy ways to cope and heal.
Healing is ugly. It's probably one of the messiest jobs you'll ever do. A healing journey is not for the faint of heart. It takes work, dedication, and patience. The use of art can be an avenue to healing.
Black Butterfly is a collection of poetry and art highlighting traumas experienced by the author that most find difficult to discuss such as abuse, abortion, depression and much more. The book is divided into four parts, each representing the stages of the butterfly transformation. "Just when the caterpillar thought her life was over, she began to fly."
