THE STORY BEHIND THE PEN

Meet De'Ashia Wallace, AJ P.R.

De'Ashia Wallace is an author, poet, spoken-word artist, and founder of My Pen Still Has Ink LLC. She has written and performed poetry for many years and previously competed nationally as part of a spoken-word team that placed third in the nation.

Her work explores grief, family, resilience, healing, identity, relationships, vulnerability, and experiences people struggle to put into words.

She is a member of the Georgia Poetry Society and, through that affiliation, the National Federation of State Poetry Societies.

Through My Pen Still Has Ink LLC, she brings together writing, performance, and community-centered programming to help people move from experience toward language, reflection, and creative expression.

Sometimes finding the words is the first step toward understanding what we have carried.

The Hug I Wish I Gave You by De'Ashia Wallace
FEATURED BOOK

The Hug I Wish I Gave You

A poetry collection about the moments people carry long after they pass: grief that changes shape, love that leaves language behind, difficult truths, healing, and the courage to name what hurts.

Through vulnerable, accessible poems, De'Ashia invites readers to sit with emotions that are often hidden, find language for their own experiences, and recognize that expression itself can become a bridge toward connection.

CONNECTION

Different stories. Shared humanity.

Writing gives us a way to recognize what we have experienced, express what we have carried, and sometimes discover that someone else understands.

Whatever the story, the page is not finished.
