"I CAN'T BREATHE"
 
That phrase may bring many things to mind: panic, anxiety, fear… or even the suffocating weight of life itself. For me, it was the struggle to breathe while wrestling with the most fundamental question: Who am I?
 
Born to a white mother and a Black father, raised in Seattle, and shaped by gang culture, early sexual freedom, and street life, I felt pulled in every direction—physically, mentally, socially, financially, and spiritually. Who am I?
 
Identity Cry-Sis is the story of that struggle turned triumph. It’s my journey from confusion to clarity, from trauma to resilience, as a single mother of four navigating life’s twists and turns. Through honesty, faith, and perseverance, I discovered who I am, who I want to be, and who I am meant to be.
 
Join me in traveling through my past and present to find hope for the future—for both you and me.
