Soft & Sovereign: Poems on Life, Love & Becoming

Soft & Sovereign is a soulful, vulnerable, and empowering poetry collection about life, love, healing, and softness from the perspective of a Black woman who is finally learning to live light.

Through fifty lyrical, raw, and honest poems, this book explores the journey of becoming — of unlearning survival mode, releasing the need to perform strength, and embracing ease, joy, and softness as a radical act. It speaks to the weight many of us carry, the ways we lose and find ourselves in love, the healing that comes when we return home to ourselves, and the sacred beauty woven into everyday Black womanhood.

If you’ve ever been:

• Tired of being the “strong one”
• Searching for home in people instead of yourself
• Learning to let go of what no longer serves you
• Longing for a life filled with ease, rest, and freedom

This book is for you.

Soft & Sovereign is for anyone on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and softness. Whether you are grieving, loving, growing, or simply trying to breathe in a world that asks you to carry too much — these poems will remind you that you are worthy of softness, of peace, of becoming your own sanctuary.
