The Weight of Labels: A Poetic Display of an Internal Shift is a three-part collection of poetry that documents the author's journey towards self-love and self-awareness. African-American, LGBT, woman - are just a few of the labels that have played a role in the unfolding of the experiences that inspired each poem. This book is a remembering, a releasing and a walking through. It's a reminder that growth is all that is ever required of us. It's a celebration. It's a transition. It's a doorway. It's a promise that healing will come when we are brave enough to receive it.
