Welcome to TassandraInk

I’m a poet and writer who has always used words to make sense of things. I was born in Jamaica and raised in the United States, and growing up between those two worlds shaped how I think, feel, and write. Long before publishing was ever on my mind, I filled notebooks with poems and short pieces, writing simply because it felt natural and necessary.

​​

My writing comes straight from real life. I write about love, healing, resilience, and the moments that stay with you long after they’ve passed. TassandraInk grew out of that need for honesty. I wanted it to be a calm, welcoming space where writing doesn’t have to be perfect and where people can take their time connecting through words.

​​

In 2024, I released my first poetry book, Ethereal Whispers: Ethereal Emotions, through IngramSpark. That experience taught me more than the publishing process; it helped me trust my voice. In 2026, I released my second poetry collection, Where Whispers Become Fire, along with my first children’s book, Koa the Friendly Dog, inspired by my American Bully, Koa, who has the calmest and most genuine personality.

​​

I connect most with writers who aren’t afraid to be honest. Emily Dickinson showed me how powerful quiet words can be, while Maya Angelou taught me the strength language can hold. When I’m not writing, I’m usually at home listening to music, watching movies, or enjoying the quiet. Caribbean sounds, meaningful lyrics, and thoughtful science-fiction stories often find their way into my creative process.
