Are you living fully present, or have you given up the parts of you that make you, you? After facing devastating loss and navigating a journey through breast cancer, author Alexis Monique had a pivotal realization: she had neglected her identity outside of roles and titles. Poetry served as her therapeutic mode leading the path back to self. SOAP: A Cleansing of the Soul and a Bath of Self-Realization is her passionate response-a radical reclamation of self, permitting the poet inside to exercise a bold unapologetic voice. This book is a profound nod to the multifaceted roles and identities that women embody or lose sight of along the way. The title SOAP is metaphorical because it's meant to wash away preconceived notions about how women should show up in the world. This interactive poetry is an invitation to live boldly and embrace the fullness of your own truth. It is a cleansing of the minds, bodies, and souls of women, prompting readers to reflect, look inward, and journal. You are invited to step into the fulfillment of your purpose. Walk away from this journey bathed in self-awareness, equipped with tools for self-care, and embodying bold self-actualization. At its heart, this book is a tribute and a powerful word of encouragement for the woman within.
