She Said That Out Loud
 

She Said That Out Loud is a collection of poetry about survival, truth-telling, and the radical act of reclaiming your own story.
 

Behind some of these lines is a girl who was stalked and nearly abducted in her small southern town. The police told her to change her route home. He still found her. She escaped, but something shifted. A child who once felt safe learned to be watchful. Years later, she began to write—to make sense of what was taken, and to celebrate what she fought to keep: her voice.
 

These poems are about boundaries and healing, about the mirror’s lies and the power of a simple “no.” They're about laughing anyway, starting over, and finding strength in places you'd forgotten to look.
 

If you've ever been underestimated, overlooked, or told to stay quiet—this book is for you.
 

For readers of Rupi Kaur, Nayyirah Waheed, and Cleo Wade, She Said That Out Loud is a reminder that your story is yours to tell—and that telling it might just set you free.

A Note About My Children's Books

My journey as a children's author began with a simple dream. To create stories for my grandchildren that they would treasure for years to come.

​

My early books were created using a combination of my original writing, creative direction, and AI-assisted illustrations. Every story, character, and message comes from my heart, while the artwork was developed through a collaborative creative process.

​

As my publishing journey has grown, I've also grown as an author. Future children's books will increasingly feature artwork created in collaboration with professional human illustrators, allowing me to continue investing in the quality and craftsmanship of every book I publish.

​

Thank you for supporting this journey. I'm grateful you've chosen to share these stories with your family.

Thanks for signing up!
