I recently turned 25, graduated college, am still single, and moved to NYC, so many transitions and realizations just within 2023, that have happened in the midst of me preparing for the release of '1998'.

The book developed naturally, in that, it's built around my personal journal entries from when I left Florida to go to college in 2017, and that transition of feeling like I knew it all but coming to the reality that I didn't. And through many realizations, trials, errors, corrections, and conversations that happened and some that I wished would've happened, the book begins.

I preface 1998, with a PSA that "I'm not a writer, not a poet, not a philosopher or anything of the sort" because everything within the book is based on experiences I've had and observations I've noted from situations around me and within me. There's no degree or scientific research that I propose to leverage the entries. I kept them raw and real and translated my handwritten work to a digital text because my handwriting isn't the best but I still wanted to show the juxtaposition of me writing in my journal on a particular day and time, compared to the more formal, edited digital text that brothers each of the journal entry scans.  

1998 will be released on Amazon KDP on September 1st, 2023. Once the book goes live I'll be sharing links to view and purchase it all over my social media!

There are a limited amount of books that will be printed both on the hardcover and paperback, so be sure to get your copy of 1998 before we sell out! I chose to do a limited run of physical books because I want to focus the majority of the attention on the conversations happening within the book, and those happening outside of it.

Keeping in mind that I build bridges for readers to vocalize their thoughts and opinions on the book in a meaningful way that cultivates community through authentic conversations.
