Pimping My Trauma

8,Pimping My Trauma is a courageous poetry collection that serves as a defiance of the stigma of having sexual trauma. This book challenges the social norm of a blue-collar environment where sexual survivors silence themselves in fear of being seen as defects in a non-benevolent society. As a survivor, the poet speaks through this collection about the need for intimacy and control, while wrestling with identity and self-deprivation. This collection of poems results in living life afloat with a desperate need to be grounded and reclaim power.
