Swamini B. is a poet and contemporary monk whose work centers on healing and resilience.

A survivor of childhood sexual abuse, she began writing to make sense of her pain and to separate what happened from who she is.

In I’m Not My Story: A Poetic Journey of Healing, she offers the words she once needed to hear: healing is possible.

Her poetry moves through grief, anger, doubt, and fear, reflecting the gradual return to trust — in herself, in others, and in life.

She writes for those seeking recovery, reclaiming their voice, dignity, and identity beyond trauma.
