Available NowOriginal Poetry on Isolation and Depression
Taking Back My Light
Step inside the mind of a teen navigating isolation, exclusion, and depression. Through deeply personal poetry, Radiance traces the quiet buildup of stress, the sting of bullying, and the relentless weight of a culture that distorts self-perception — from invisibility to apathy, from sorrow to survival, and the courageous decision to fight for one's life.

The Onslaught of the -Isms
Through original poetry written over fourteen years, Radiance lays bare the personal pain of encountering racism, sexism, classism, religious prejudice, and more — tracing oppression from subtle microaggressions all the way to segregation, slavery, and war. A personal account and a broader awakening.
