You Are Enough ... Said Me

Book excerpt: "You are Enough"...Said Me is written by Divya Adu. This is Adu's first book. She has been performing at coffee houses and poetry slams since middle school. Although, she has been writing since the age of 5. But creating a body of work and compiling it together into an art form, she has never done before. This is a book about trauma, a journey from childhood to adulthood, and a catharsis for anyone who has felt as if they haven't been abundant in life or adequate enough to be in certain spaces. This collection of short stories, poems, and journal entries were carefully written with the deepest emotions and a variety of life situations that a young person might go through. Such as love, emotions, heartache, and triumph. Along with pain, Divya explores healing and finally letting go of childhood fears and mental suffering that life can bring. Learning that you are enough and that you are important through her lens, "HERstory". Some of the works within the book have been selected from an archive that ranges from 2013 to 2019. Divya hopes that this book will allow others to see they are not alone. That your presence and time on earth are valued and your feelings are valid.
