When Memories Become Nightmares, the EBook

It's Here: When Memories Become Nightmares is officially an eBook! 📖✨

Welcome back, family, to another update from The Akua Projects. If you tuned into yesterday's Sunday’s Mental Health Check-In, you heard all about my freezing, chaotic Wednesday night stranded at the transit center. We talked about what it feels like when the digital darkness hits and you feel stuck in the cold. Honestly, that feeling of being trapped in a dark space, trying to navigate your way back to the light, is exactly what birthed the project I am so incredibly thrilled to share with you today. I am so excited to announce that my short story collection, When Memories Become Nightmares, is officially being republished and released as an eBook! What started out as a simple midnight exercise to push through my own frustrating writer’s block has evolved into a world that I am so proud of. I wanted to write stories that reflect the women I know and love. In these pages, you'll meet beautiful, full-figured, everyday Black women who are forced to confront the heavy baggage of their pasts. These aren't just spooky tales; they are explorations of the mind. They are about those moments when the things we thought we left behind suddenly demand our attention, and the sheer resilience it takes to face those ghosts down. Here is what you can expect inside: Relatable Protagonists: Plus-size African American women taking the lead in their own complex, thrilling narratives. Mental Health Themes: A raw look at how we process trauma, memory, and anxiety when the past refuses to stay quiet. Psychological Suspense: Twists and turns that will keep you reading late into the night. To my village—thank you for your endless support of The Akua Projects, whether you are buying custom beaded pens from Adorned by Rakia Ari, listening to the podcast, or reading my words. It means the world to me that we get to go far together.
