The Literary Titan Book Award recognises poets who demonstrate artistry and proficiency, push the boundaries of language and expression, evoke deep emotional responses, challenge thought, and illuminate new perspectives through their work.

To have Brokenness Becomes Beautiful recognised in this way means so much to me.
This book was born from a journey I never expected to take.

After my stroke, aphasia changed the way I spoke and communicated. There were moments of frustration, uncertainty and loss — but also moments of discovery, acceptance, healing and growth.
Poetry became another way for me to find my voice.

Brokenness Becomes Beautiful explores eight interconnected themes:
Self-Discovery. Self-Awareness. Self-Acceptance. Self-Love. Self-Healing. Self-Care. Self-Growth. Self-Empowerment.

At its heart, the book carries a simple message:
Brokenness does not mean the end of beauty. Sometimes, it is where a different kind of beauty begins.
Receiving the Literary Titan Gold Book Award during October makes this recognition even more meaningful to me as we approach World Stroke Day on 29 October.

This month, I will continue sharing one message that has become central to my journey:Aphasia changed my voice. It did not silence me.

Thank you to Thomas Anderson and the Literary Titan team for this recognition, and thank you to everyone who has read, listened to, shared or supported Brokenness Becomes Beautiful.
Every time these words reach someone who needs them, the journey continues.
Thank you for helping my voice travel further.
