She has a simplistic black and white theme but that adds to the poems she shares. Her poems are short but powerful.

@_navk

His poems are amazing and puts love together in a beautiful way.

The best kind of people are those who remind you of your faith and God. Her poems show the beauty in God's attributes and in our lives.

She is an author of the poetry book, Preparing My Daughter For Rain. I know it is a reflection of the amazing poems she shares on her Instagram account.
