Baby Nora’s Memoir: A Journey to Healing

The Story

In 1989, hours after birth, I was left inside a hospital trash can by my birth mother and dubbed “Baby Nora.” Unbeknownst to me, I wasn’t just me. I was a headline and had a tragic beginning.

Now, I am writing the memoir that turns the story inward. This is not just a book about survival. It’s about identity, belonging, and reclaiming a voice that was buried for too long.


Why Jamaica

This is not a vacation. It’s a spiritual homecoming.

As soon as possible, I’m looking to relocate to Jamaica, for a period of four months to write my memoir, reconnect with my ancestral roots, and complete the manuscript in the land where I can hear my spirit clearly. Jamaica offers me the grounding and stillness I need to finish this story with honesty and strength.


About Me

I am on a healing journey and actively co-creating the life of my dreams. Like many, I have lived a life of unexpected twists, and now I am peeling back the layers to get to the fruit of my life.

After ending an eight-year career at Apple, I currently manage a creative venue, run a side business helping the elderly with tech, and spend my free time exploring music production.

I am charismatic, guided by love, and deeply committed to my healing journey. I’ve already completed and sent out a full agent-ready book proposal! Now it’s time to write the book itself.


How Funds Will Be Used

Your support will cover:
• Relocation & Setup – flight, deposit, rent, essentials
• Living + Well-being – housing, food, utilities, therapy, wellness
• Creative Tools – laptop accessories, audio gear, writing software
• Safety Net – emergency funds, unexpected needs

This ensures I can focus fully on the writing, without the constant fear of survival pulling me away from the page.


Why It Matters

This isn’t just my book.
it’s our story.

If “Baby Nora” stuck with you…
If you’ve ever felt unseen or silenced…
If you believe in the power of truth-telling and healing through memoir…

I invite you to support or share this campaign. Together, we are reclaiming legacies with love and courage.


Gratitude & Updates

I’ll be sharing monthly updates with progress, reflections, and early excerpts. Your belief in me ensures this story isn’t buried again.

Thank you. 
For seeing me, for believing, and for helping me bring this story into the world.

With love and courage,
