Swamini B. is a poet and contemporary monk whose work centers on healing and resilience. As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, she began writing to make sense of her pain. In I’m Not My Story: A Poetic Journey of Healing, she offers the words she once needed to hear: healing is possible.

She writes from lived experience, exploring what it means to face the past without being defined by it. Her poetry moves through grief, anger, doubt, and fear, tracing the inner movement from inherited shame toward self-acceptance.

Her work reflects the gradual rebuilding of trust — in oneself, in others, and in life — grounded in clarity, dignity, and truth.
