Support Shantasha Naomi Laing's Poetry Journey

Hi y'all! My name is Shantasha Laing and I am a self-published poet looking for support with some of the costs of being a full-time author. After 3 years of writing in secrecy, I decided to take the jump and published my debut poetry book, "Not A Monolith: Poems and Musings of a Black Woman". As TikTok sales have started to pick up, so have shipping and business costs. A donation would help me keep business moving smoothly and quickly by purchasing a shipping label printer, thermal paper, envelopes, and other miscellaneous items for the success of my business. I would also like to attend more book events in 2025, so additional donations would help fund travel and lodging for book events.

Thank you!
