Hi! I'm Breeanna
I'm a queer poet and writer creating community and healing through writing.
Although writing was something I gravitated towards my entire life, I carried the narrative and core belief that I could not be a poet or a writer because I didn't study it in college. Or when I thought of poets, I only considered them to be those who could rhyme, a skill I could never get to. So before even allowing myself to step into a space of writing, I had already severed the path before it could even begin.
​
Then, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, trying to claw at any type of normalcy, a friend of mine recommended I do a 27 day "free writing" challenge - the practice of taking a prompt and getting pen to paper - no attachment to grammar, spelling, anything; just allowing 15 minutes to show up for myself and let whatever might want to pour out of me onto the page. After those 27 days, I looked back and thought "Holy shit, I wrote that!?"
Through this practice, my love for writing was reignited. Writing has allowed for my insides to come outside. Writing has been the pathway for me discovering the life I have always wanted to live rather than the life I was told I should live. Writing has been a healing modality, a way to process, an expression of art, and a sense of belonging. It's because of writing I have been able to practice getting away from the act of performing and tap into the space of my knowing.
​
And that is what I want to share with you. To give yourself permission to show up for yourself, without any attachment to an outcome or the lines of a box. To use writing as a way to discover a little more about yourself and feel brave enough to show yourself a little more authentically to you and those around you.
