Being & Becoming is a tender, unflinching exploration of what it means to grow, grieve, and rebuild yourself, again and again. Through reflective essays and poetry, Jocelyn Parker-Mays invites readers into the in-between spaces of becoming: the loneliness of change, the ache of healing what you tried to ignore, and the quiet joy of learning to trust life again.
This debut work is both mirror and companion; for anyone standing in their becoming, unsure but willing. It’s for those learning that healing isn’t a single moment but a lifelong return to self.
Being & Becoming reminds us that we can hold contradictions, that growth can be gentle, and that we’re allowed to be proud of who we are, even as we’re still becoming.
