Brianna Barberi was born 1986 in Jersey City, New Jersey, to an American Italian/Irish father and Dominican mother. This is Brianna’s first published book, but her passion for writing and poetry dates back to her elementary school years. With many journals filled with her deepest thoughts and emotions, Brianna found the courage to put her voice her words in hopes of helping others. It is her belief that by sharing this vulnerability, you give others the courage to embrace all situations life has given, both positive and negative.
