Your darkest moment is not your ending, it's your Awakening.
One night in a jail cell. One soul fractured open. One Deaf Latina's journey from injustice to light.
Once a Fractured Soul is a powerful memoir about wrongful detainment, identity, and spiritual awakening. After being stripped of her freedom and voice, a Deaf Latina woman confronts injustice, trauma, and truth. Through the breaking, she discovers healing, resilience, and the light that refuses to disappear.
A Voice the World Needs to Hear
I'm the second Deaf Latina to publish a memoir and I'm writing about an experience the world rarely sees: wrongful detainment, spiritual awakening, and what it means to find light when everything is taken from you.
My story lives at the intersection of identities rarely represented in mainstream publishing: a Deaf woman from the Bronx navigating systemic injustice, communication barriers, cultural pressure, and trauma that cracked me open.
This isn't just another memoir. This is a perspective that's been missing from bookstore shelves, from bestseller lists, from conversations about justice and healing.
This is a story that needed to be told and a voice that deserves to be heard.
