From the pages
“Memories are still shots and videos of our experiences stored in the mind, body, and soul. The good ones, gold. Plastered on a bulletin for display. The bad ones, filed away, to stay that way...[until] I was ready.”

Behind the words

A note from the author

Lavender Heart Tea began as an invitation to sit with the parts of ourselves we are often taught to hide, hurry past, or leave behind.

When I published this collection in 2021, I was sharing a piece of my own becoming. Today, the book remains a reminder that healing isn't always linear—and that our stories deserve room to unfold.

Reader reflections

Words that stayed.

“Beautiful Soulful Healing Journey. I cried healing tears from beginning to end. I’ve never been more grateful for a book. If you are on a healing journey this book is a must read. Such a beautiful and touching collection of stories. As a black woman only child raised in abuse I felt like I was reading my own journal. This book truly touched my heart. This book is proof that healing yourself changes the world because reading it immediately changed my world. I’m endlessly grateful.”
