An incarcerated boo, a miscarriage, and a secret that could destroy the relationship with her best friend, Co-Co can’t seem to escape the grips of tragedy.
With the help of church and therapy, will Co-Co be capable of taming her chaotic life?
When our beloved grandfather, Morris Royal Sr., passed away earlier this year, our hearts felt an ache words could hardly describe. In his memory—and in honor of all the grandparents and elders who have poured love, wisdom, and guidance into our lives—we created Before You Go to Heaven.
This heartfelt children’s book is a celebration of the deep bond between generations. Through warm, joyful moments, it reminds young readers to cherish their elders while they are still here, to say “thank you” often, and to create memories that last a lifetime.
Whether read in remembrance of someone who has passed or as a gentle reminder to embrace the loved ones still beside us, Before You Go to Heaven is a tender tribute to family, love, and legacy—meant to inspire gratitude and connection in every heart it touches.
They say I put the “psycho” in psychoanalyst… and maybe they’re right.
One moment I was a respected psychoanalyst and researcher. The next? Inmate #36729, locked up at Hazelwood Grove Correctional Facility—in the infamous Block Crash Out.
Before I got here, I had never even heard the term crash out. Now, I realize I was one. Undiagnosed. Unchecked. Unraveled.
A crash out is someone who’s willing to throw it all away—her freedom, her future, even her life—in a split-second act of rage or pride. It’s reckless, raw, and all too real. And once I started listening to the women around me, I saw a pattern. Brilliant, passionate, powerful women… all caught in the aftermath of a crash out moment.
So I started asking questions. What led them here? What broke them? What pushed them to that edge?
Now, I invite you to listen as the women of Hazelwood Grove speak their truth—unfiltered and unapologetic. These stories aren’t just about them.
Because if you think it could never be you?
Think again.
