Thrilled to share that I completed the LexPoMo Writing Challenge for 2025! 30 poems in 30 days!

You can read my bio for the year, my entries, and my reason for joining at my writer profile. Since I completed the challenge, editors will review my collection of submissions and choose one for the next anthology. It’s exciting to wonder which one they will select! For my dear readers and loved ones, I’ve curated some lists by theme so you can find the type of poem that speaks to you more easily.

Happy to announce that my poem “What I Am and Am Not Saying About Embodiment” was accepted for publication by Unapologetically Us: Disabled, Proud, and Resilient, a Zine By the Disability Community For the Disability Community.

This Pride issue celebrates disabled and queer bodies and the full issue is available via Flipsnack. In this poem, I attempt to express what it feels like to be neurodivergent. Specifically, what it physically feels like to have strong feelings toward my body and its sometimes inability to hold all that I am. Reframing my struggles from a place of “more” and not “less” has helped me make peace with my struggles.

Happy to announce that my poem “Second Mom” was accepted for publication by Livina Press literary magazine for their special edition: Womanhood.

This issue aligns with International Women’s Day 2025 and all proceeds will benefit Women for Women International. “Second Mom” is a poem about the roles we choose and the roles that are assigned to us.
