2 Kinds of Fire
In a society where keeping up appearances can be more important than transparency and freedom, newly published author and poet Porsche Kelly goes against the grain in her debut poetry book 2 Kinds of Fire, a collection of poetry telling the story of her life and the journey from who she used to be to who she was called to be.
Touching on unhealthy relationships, trauma, depression, loss of purpose and identity, 2 Kinds of Fire is a testimony of a black woman who overcame loss, shame, and hurt and her journey to healing and restoring faith. As a spoken word artist, Porsche’s work focused on social justice issues such as racism, sexism, and mental health, especially within the black community, keeping her personal life to herself. But after a conversation with God, she realized that her growth not only as an artist but as a black woman in America, would be rooted in the freedom of telling her story to help others erase shame and tell their own. 2 Kinds of Fire is a reminder that we all have pain, trauma, and hurt. It is what we allow it to do to us that matters.
