There is freedom in surrendering what no longer feeds the soul. There is peace in inciting chaos on the shadows that seek to steal the joy sheltered in the heart. There is wholeness in breaking cycles passed down from one generation to the next. Who here dares to do what their fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers would never dare to do? Who here dares to face the giants their forefathers made peace with, to avoid the crushing that comes with proclaiming It ends with me? This collection maps out the true story of a girl's journey to becoming who she was made to be as she takes the first step out of trauma, childhood wounds, religiousness, identity confusion, and other forms of bondage. In this uncertain and uncharted place, she finds love, God, and, ultimately, herself. We lost our native names
and honor
under the South Carolina sun.
But the Holy Spirit
led me to the water
written in the corn rows,
and I dipped seven times
to undo the cycles
sown into my skin. I am
where joy begins.
My name is Ohr.
My mother gave me to God
and God gave me
the sword. The Unbroken China Doll is a powerful, unapologetic, immersive, and heartfelt read that inspires action. Through detailed narration and words that feel almost tangible, readers are encouraged to reclaim their power, their voices, and their names from every hiding place. Each section begins with custom artwork-visual reflections of the themes and emotions woven through the pages ahead. These illustrations serve as gentle thresholds, guiding you into each chapter of the journey, where memory, meaning, and image meet to create a deeply personal and immersive experience. Reader Note: This poetry collection delves into challenging experiences, including racial and gender-based violence, religious tension, trauma, mental health struggles, pregnancy loss, and grief. Some poems are drawn from real-life events. These works invite reflection, empathy, and healing, but may be emotionally intense for some readers.
