unfolding: a collection of poetry and prose

By kaela joy

from the ashes of who you thought you were will rise the truth of who you are meant to be.

kaela joy is incredibly grateful to announce the release of her debut book: unfolding: a collection of poetry and prose. it is a compilation of some of her writings over the last decade. it traces her journey from feeling broken to remembering her wholeness and everything in between. this anthology is raw, honest, and straight from the heart. it embraces the messiness of what it means to human, in all of its beauty and terror. it is her story, but do not be surprised if you also see some of your own story dancing between the lines on the pages.

it has always been kaela joy's dream to share her words with anyone who might be touched by them. let her poems move you. let them tear you apart. let them stitch you back together. let them remind you of your magnificence.

ten percent of the proceeds of your purchase of "unfolding" will be donated to The Loveland Foundation and The Zora Neale Hurston/Richard Wright Foundation. as a future therapist, kaela joy believes in the importance of providing mental health services and support to vulnerable communities - The Loveland Foundation provides access to mental health care and brings "opportunity and healing to communities of color, and especially to Black women and girls". as someone who has experienced firsthand the healing power of writing and storytelling, kaela joy believes in the mission of increasing literary representation of BIPOC writers - The Zora Neale Hurston/Richard Wright Foundation's mission is to "discover, mentor, and honor Black writers" through workshops, awards, and community initiatives.
