Songs of Broken Clay

As a very young girl, I became slowly aware that I was living through a childhood that was atypical. Self-expression through writing and music became both a way to survive and a resounding yet unanswered cry for help. This collection is meant to explore trauma, survival, and ultimately healing through an intensive therapeutic process and an overwhelming amount of self-reflection. Songs of Broken Clay touches on traumas associated with race, gender, sexual violence, chronic illness, and child abuse while finding a way to use these traumas to be of service to those who might feel alone or isolated in these experiences.
