Each poem is a remnant of memory sewn into a patchwork quilt, a white phantom like my name full of universal truths and traumas that I hope can help provide validation and healing to my readers through the power of words.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThese poems address themes of childhood, identity, and personal growth.

She is often inspired and encouraged by her students to write about universally traumatic personal experiences, since they help her remember what it was like to be their age, figuring out how to cope with the roller coaster of emotions from parental pressure to peer pressure to suicide ideation, and hopes her words will make a difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eShe’s written tons of poetry and memoirs as well as three young adult novels, all about self-discovery, self-acceptance, surviving a toxic home, and defying expectations.
