As you begin to get to know her, you will learn to appreciate her even more. Appreciating the beauty of a woman, means peeling back her external layers to examine who she is at her core. Seeing her uncloaked, with her essence on reveal. Where she is no longer obscured beneath the day to day coverings of style, high-fashion and contentment. In this state, she is most vulnerable. Nonetheless, it is her vulnerability that makes her beautiful. The Gift of H.E.R. represents a poetic expression of the beauty all women hold within. It attempts seeing through a woman's eyes, the thoughts, feelings and struggles that cause her pause, and brings her joy, happiness and heartbreak. It is a poetic commentary exploring the challenges and triumphs of women in their struggle against the traditional stereotypes of beauty. Each poem dives into the conscious soul where we form, shape and refine the many facets of our personal definitions of what makes a woman beautiful.
