Floating in My Breakthrough

by Breonda G. Simmons, Jamie Mayes (Editor)

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.
