International Impact Book Award: Poetry – Narrative and Storytelling

I’m honored to share that I have been selected as a winner of the International Impact Book Award in the category of Poetry – Narrative and Storytelling. This prestigious recognition celebrates not only the creative expression within my work, but also its resonance with readers and judges alike.

The award acknowledges the power of storytelling to connect, heal, and transform—and I am humbled that my poetry, drawn from lived experience and cultural memory, has been recognized in this way. It is a meaningful milestone in my journey as a writer, reflecting years of dedication to capturing stories that often go untold.

As part of this honor, I’ve been invited to attend the International Impact Book Awards Gala on November 1, 2025, where I will be recognized among a distinguished group of authors, publishers, and literary leaders from across the globe. The event provides an opportunity to celebrate my achievement, engage with the literary community, and further amplify the voices and stories that matter most.

This award is more than a personal accolade, it is a tribute to the power of language, the endurance of culture, and the importance of bearing witness through poetry. I am deeply grateful for this recognition and for the continued support of readers, mentors, and fellow storytellers who inspire and uplift my work.
