I started writing 10 years ago — I kid you not when I say my notebook saved my life. It gave me a new one at the least. This is where my journey began, this is where Flowerchiild was born. I just didn't know it then. Please read, enjoy and ask. Sign up to my substack for more soul-searching writing on writing your way to freedom https://notesfromasoulsearcher.substack.com/
“It takes courage to write your truth and even more to put it out into the world for anyone to read. That is Kite Envy, my diary on display. Why did I write it so raw and revealing? Because I was tired of pretending - I wanted to say what I, and most of us, are thinking and feeling but don't dare utter out loud... I want to be free.”
Sang Ji is a multi-disciplinary artist, musician, poet and author of four books, including Kite Envy I want to be Free. She is the Founder of Opera on Sarovar Press, featured in 2016 UN Women 'Voices for Change', has sat on the UCL Poetry Society judging panel and is part of Poets for Change and Poets for the Planet. As an independent publisher, she ensures that her words remain unedited and fully her own voice.
