In her first published book, “Floating In My Breakthrough,” Breonda shares the lasting and debilitating effects of being displaced during Hurricane Katrina and struggles with depression and anxiety. She pens pieces about beautiful encounters with love and heartbreak while vividly describing the world as she sees it through a motivational adaptation of the alphabet. “Floating In My Breakthrough” is a creative telling of a brave woman’s story. Her story about brokenness, perseverance, and the intensity of breaking through is both relatable and inspiring. It is an intimate portrayal of faith, a vulnerable presentation of fear, and a transparent representation of what overcoming can feel like when we let go and move according to God’s will.
Through pieces like “Have You Prayed About It?” and “Writing to Breathe,'' Breonda shares her story of resilience and self-discovery. Her raw lines and edgy analogies are thought provoking and spiritually elevating. Breonda’s collection of works will bring a new meaning to the word “freedom” through a collection of works that capture the essence of liberation.

As a polar opposite of the author (I'm an old, white male.), I would likely never have picked up this book had not the universe conspired to drop it in my lap. As is always the case, I'm glad I listened to that small, still voice. From the beginning to the end, it touched me in a way I suspect will be near universal. I found most of it to be perfectly relatable. The passages that were not provided insight and perspective to aspects of this existence that I will never be able to experience personally. I believe this thought-provoking read would be even more powerful as a spoken word performance, especially the "A,B,Cs". Should that occur, it would be nice if a schedule of events was made available.
