When Breath Becomes Policy is a collection of poems written at the intersection of personal survival and public awareness. These poems trace the quiet violence of systems & the intimate cost of decisions made far from the bodies that must bear them. Drawing from lived experience, civic leadership, and a deep interrogation of power, the work explores how policy is not abstract but embodied. The collection moves through pain without sensationalizing it, through anger without losing discipline, and through hope without naïveté. This book is not a protest in verse alone. It is a hope for a future that integrates emotional intelligence into the structures that shape our lives.
