In a world where lives are lived in the virtual reality of Social Media, our raw moments are seen through Valencia filters, photoshopping smiles in our exaggerated posts of what moments ought to be and thus increasing social pressures at only projecting our best, many times in moments of our worst.
But what would happen if every time a tear was shed, a post was written; a fight that was had, a tweet mentioned; or a moment feeling less than, a community listened?
How different would our world be if ugly became pretty and pretty became ordinary?
Having spent most of her life hiding, spoken word artist, writer, and performer, Fatima uses her writing as a way to take her readers on an intimate journey to taste her tears, feel her fears, and imagine her world unfiltered.
The St(Art) of the End is the product of desperation, depression, anxiety, and brokenness. It's a raw book of poems aimed to motivate readers to write in the face of rejection and otherness. It relates to themes of feeling less than and not good enough to redefine endings as beginnings.
The St(Art) of the End weaves lessons in poetry entries written at times of perceived end and shows how the art of writing ignited a start once thought impossible.
The book is written in letter form to personalize messages of pain, healing, understanding, honesty, and empowerment. They are categorized in topics of love, heartbreak, death, depression, and purpose, ending in brokenness.
