‘‘ This book made me cry at work.’’
- Amazon reviewer
The healing read for an uncertain world.
But I Don’t Feel
Empowered is a protest
against toxic positivity.
When society asks you
to be empowered 24/7 –
Suri asks you to just be.
This is about being a woman in the world.
…and the messiness of that.
Suri guides you through:
· healing,
· generational trauma,
· heartbreak,
· family,
· heritage,
· growing up,
. and more!
Everyone will relate.
…especially big feelers & queer people of color.
With the state of the world, we don’t have the energy to feel empowered. We’re tired.
Suri wrote this when she was exhausted by forced self-love narratives. At her lowest points, she found shelter in honesty.
YES, Suri did the
drawings too.
‘‘ My parents drank from the
well of generational trauma.
There was no baptism or
ceremony. Where I lived,
the poison was in the water.
I held my breath
as they dunked my head in,
told me to drink,
told me it would be
good for me.’’
‘‘But I don’t feel empowered,’’ says my inner voice.
‘‘I feel soft and tender & messy & tired & hopeful.’’
Full of prize-
winning poems.
…but still lots of fun.

‘‘ What doesn’t kill you, doesn’t make you stronger. It makes you a sapling that grew through barbed wire – bent, misshapen, maybe a little ugly.
I guess my bed was always a cocoon. And those sheets were not a shroud, but a house, spun of fine silk.
I poke my finger into the outside world. I don’t know if I’m better or more beautiful.
I just feel alive. I just feel new.’’
Words that
punch you
in the throat.
