"I am not afraid anymore To stumble upon ashes" Have you ever wondered what is going on in the mind of someone who is coming into their own power? Who has to fight the uphill battle of a decline in mental health in the midst of an abusive relationship? Who had to find a way out and also find herself again? Who does all this while learning what it truly means to be a Black woman in America? The Rebirth of a Phoenix is the fiery debut collection of deeply personal and self-reflective storytelling by Destinee Shipley. Through poetry, journaling, and text conversations, Destinee tells the true story of a young Black college student who shows her journey through innocence, to despair, to finding her voice once more. With the metamorphosis of a phoenix as her anchor, this is a story of growth and self-love found through the storm.
Autorenporträt
Destinee Shipley is the medical student, poet, and now founder of her book publishing business, Firebird Spark, LLC. She has written poetry since late in high school when one of her friends challenged her to write free verse poetry that didn't rhyme, thus breaking her ideas of what poetry could be. She realized that she loved how through poetry she could be her fullest self and finally express the thoughts swirling in her head. That love came in handy during college when she faced many struggles including self-doubt and mental illness, and was entangled in an abusive relationship. Writing gave her stability while her world was in chaos, and upon reflection, showed her just how chaotic her world had become. Poetry was also her way out of that darkness and back into the light of her self-discovery and self-love.Destinee lives in Atlanta, GA and attends Morehouse School of Medicine. She loves to read, play board games, try out new restaurants, and when she thinks it wont bother her neighbors she also likes to practice her saxophone.
