Awakening the Dragon is a poetry collection that opens with a fictional image of the author hidden away from reality in a tower. This story line continues, woven into the rest of the collection as the author draws upon the life experiences that awakened the dragon within her. Following the author's struggles to understand herself, topics such as colorism, sexuality, and acknowledging one's fallibility arise. The author has compiled this collection to show every step of her journey toward self-acceptance. She wants readers to know that being a bumbling mess is not only okay, but encouraged as you find your way to becoming a confident, fire-breathing dragon.
