2 days until E-mancipated is released
What I’m feeling right now
Very, very soon, E-mancipated will be out in the world.
I’ve waited for this moment. I’ve worked hard for it. And sometimes, while I was writing my story, I relived it. I bled into it - not literally, but sometimes it reopened old wounds and I sat with them for a while.
And now that it’s almost here, I find myself feeling a swirl of emotions I didn’t quite expect.
I feel hopeful. Hopeful that this book will matter — not in a loud, viral, headline-making way, but in the way that true stories should: deeply, honestly, quietly reshaping the way someone sees themselves. Or sees someone they love. Or sees someone they’ve dismissed.
That sounds like a big ask for a 115 page, 21 chapter book, doesn’t it?
But what I mean is simple:
If a person is still in it — still stuck, still breaking — I hope they find something in these pages that helps them hold on.
If someone has survived abuse, I hope these words validate their pain, their rage, their resilience.
If someone is standing beside a survivor — a friend, a partner, a parent, a child — I hope this book helps them understand what healing really asks of us.
And if a professional reads it — a therapist, a teacher, a caseworker — I hope it reminds them that behind every file is a full, breathing human story.
I also feel anxious. Anxious about how this memoir will be received. About how I’ll be perceived. Sharing your truth — especially when it’s raw and uncomfortable — doesn’t come without fear.
But bigger than that fear and anxiety is the hope that this story will start conversations. Real conversations - you know the kind I mean. The kind of conversations that don’t look away. The kind of conversations that don’t try to fix or silence or pretty things up. The kind of conversations that let people tell the truth — that let people be seen. That let people feel heard.
E-mancipated is my truth. But I wrote it so that other people might feel a little more free to speak theirs too.
Thank you for walking with me into this moment.
