Message from the Daughters: Sent from the Midheaven via fire and brimstone.

by Ayesha Hakim

Overview

"Message from the Daughters" poems takes each reader on a journey of profound transformation through the lens of the divine feminine. From hardship and heartache to overcoming trauma and healing, Ayesha Hakim depicts a wide range of human emotions as a form of not only self-expression but solidarity. Our experiences, while different in various ways, unite us. This unshakable sense of unity is what ultimately instills empowerment, sisterhood, compassion, and hope. Above all, the soulful poetic outpourings within the pages of "Message from the Daughters" possess the power to "birth the sea, still the wind, direct the moon, inform the sun to rise" and awaken the spiritual warrior within.
