From the Vault is a deeply personal poetry collection about love, healing, growth, identity, and resilience. Told in five honest sections— Golden Margins, Hidden Drafts, Proof I Kept Going, Pages I Almost Deleted, and When No One Was Watching . These poems explore what it means to rise quietly, heal loudly, and love fearlessly. Inside these pages, you’ll find: • love poems that feel like home • reflections on being a Black woman in a world that often misunderstands her • soft reminders that you are allowed to rest and still be powerful • truth-telling about heartbreak, grief, letting go, and starting again This book is for anyone who’s ever grown in private, loved in silence, or survived more than they speak about. If you’ve ever needed words for the things you couldn’t say, this is for you. From the Vault is a reminder that your softness is not weakness, your love is not too much, and your story still matters.
