through unthinkable situations and bear the consequences of going through these.
Some tend to run away from it and forget it to detach themselves from the pain and hurt.
Find out how poetry and writing become a channel of release and realization to become
the best version of yourself.

During this month of self-love and human resilience, Desiree shares her journey of self-
love through her writing of her book “The Shaping of a Diamond”. One may be able to
find a solution and delve deeper if one writes it out. Writing allows you to express all of
your thoughts and feelings in a method that would be understandable to those who
would listen to you. She tells us on how writing down her story as a release and form of
self-reflection led her to being the best version of herself today.
