New collection of Poems now available


I dedicate this English-French edition to my 11-year-old self. As a survivor of ritualized mental cruelty and sexual abuse, I have always found solace in the rhythm of my words. In this book of poems, Resilience, I weave dark tales of resilience, a testament to the human spirit's ability to overcome even the most daunting challenges.
From the whispered prayers of a child to the triumphant screams of an adult, these poems explore the strength that lies within each of us. I bear witness to the resilience of the mind, the body, and the spirit, facing life's inevitable setbacks and emerging stronger than ever.
