About This Book
“The broken pieces of a Black woman. Shattered by the neglect of a Black man. It’s too much pressure to save her. So, he turns his head. Acting as if he don’t see her pain, While all she needed was his hand.” In her debut poetic memoir, “The Makings of a Project Queen,” Blossom relives a path of self-discovery, empowerment, and healing as she shines a light on key issues impacting inner-city Black girls today.

Our Review
This raw poetic memoir chronicles the journey of a Black woman navigating the emotional wreckage of neglect and the systemic pressures facing inner-city girls. Through alternating poems and intimate behind-the-scenes stories, the author reconstructs a path from fragmentation to wholeness, giving voice to a specific, often overlooked pain. The work doesn't shy away from the weight of being seen as a "project" in need of saving, instead dissecting the dynamics that leave Black women feeling shattered.
What makes this collection resonate is its unflinching honesty about the labor of self-repair when the expected hand isn't offered. Blossom’s writing serves as both a personal testimony and a beacon for others on a similar path, transforming private anguish into a shared narrative of resilience. Readers seeking a candid exploration of healing, self-discovery, and the complex realities of Black womanhood will find a powerful and affirming mirror in these pages.
