    - Ashley Lauren

FROM THE FIRE WITHIN (COMING SOON)

My second book of poetry is coming soon and I couldn’t be more excited to release it this summer. This book will center around my blackness and what it means to be both black and woman. It is raw, real, and heavy — like the journey has always been as a black woman. Yet, I carry it well.
