This Is My Mixtape: Volume 2026 Releases December 8

I’m officially announcing the release of This Is My Mixtape: Volume 2026, arriving December 8, 2026. This collection brings together more than 300 haikus written throughout a year of healing, self-discovery, boundaries, solitude, self-love, anger, acceptance, and transformation.

A Year of Healing, Told in Haiku

I think of these poems as three-line diary entries. They capture fleeting thoughts, hard realizations, quiet victories, grief, humor, confidence, and the strange little observations that surfaced while I was unlearning old beliefs, protecting my peace, reconsidering who deserves access to me, and rebuilding my life on my own terms.

The book is also a visual record of that year, paired with new original artwork from my Abstract Distortions series. The poetry and art grew alongside each other, so bringing them together in one book felt like the natural way to document what becoming looked and felt like for me in 2026.
