During my battle with cancer, I've found myself writing through both the most hopeful and the most difficult moments. Those writings became my debut book, This Is What It Feels Like, a collection of 45 poems and illustrations that tell my story.
I created this book to raise awareness and share what the lived experience of cancer truly feels like. It is my dedication to those currently in the fight, those who have survived, those grieving a loss, and all the loved ones trying to understand. It's my deepest hope that through these poems and drawings, you will find comfort, encouragement, and a powerful reminder that you do not walk this journey alone.

The "My Mantra Project" is an art project I created to empower individuals facing any life battle. A "mantra" is a word or phrase that is often repeated and expresses a strong belief, often used by individuals to persevere in times of adversity. I founded this art project as an artist and blood cancer fighter. My mantra and inspiration behind this project and website is in 'I AM THE STORM'. This mantra has gotten me through my battle with cancer. My vision is to draw a portrait with the "fighter's" mantra written on it, along with sharing their story on social media through a timelapse video (with the individual's permission). I want to draw for anyone who is a fighter or survivor of any adversity, big or small - whether it's cancer, addiction, abuse, mental illness, etc.
WHAT’S YOUR MANTRA?
