love the journey: Poetry and Artwork Selections

More about the book

"In this collection of poetry and art, Andrea G. Hardeman pulls back the curtain on her intimate journey of inner child healing, working through the depths of depression and anxiety, and ultimately finding healing and joy along the way. Drawing on her experiences and at times of loved ones whose paths weave through and mirror her own, readers are enveloped in a space of reflection on their own journey and those around them. Topics include love, finding one's voice, and generational trauma. Therapy and the Black Community don't seem to mix and tends to be a taboo subject. That was Andrea G. Hardeman's experience at the ripe age of 15, and the stigma stayed with her, and a sliver of shame remains to this day. Hardeman's vulnerability in her writing and art aides in the de-stigmatization of mental health and allows readers to feel seen and understood."--Back cover
