"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.
