I am a young woman who started writing at the age of 11 in 2018. It began with poetry at school, which I continued for two years. In 2020, when I started high school, I realised I could also write music and began exploring that, although I was hesitant to perform and mostly focused on writing. In 2021, I was asked to write a farewell poem for a teacher. After reading it, my teacher encouraged me to enter a competition, where I placed 3rd. Although some judges questioned whether it was poetry, they recommended I pursue music, but I chose not to at the time. In 2022, I stopped writing after losing my father and didn’t write for almost a year. In 2024, I fell in love and returned to poetry, writing about my experiences and eventually completing a full chapter about my life. In early 2026, after going through heartbreak, I decided to put my pride aside and start sharing my work again, joining Black Commission CPT.
