“ I am heartbroken by today’s tragedy at the school in Minneapolis. This painful reminder highlights the urgent need to UNCOVER, UNDERSTAND, and UPLIFT the hidden PAIN our youth face every day. My book, Uplifting the Pain of Behavioral and Learning Styles Through Poetry Now, was written to give voice to the emotions students often silence—through poems like Explode, My Secret, Urges, and Slipping Away. We must act before pain turns into a crisis. By listening differently and creating spaces where young people feel seen and understood, we can prevent tragedies and foster healing in our schools and communities.”
