All Eyes Closed Ain't Sleep

All Eyes Closed Ain’t Sleep

 is more than a story about her murder. It is about the unanswered questions left behind, the ripple effects of a single injustice, and the unbreakable will of a daughter who refuses to stop seeking the truth. It is a daughter’s relentless pursuit of truth, accountability, and justice, and her determination to make sure her mother’s life, her story, and her unsolved murder are never forgotten. I may not have felt your arms, but I feel your legacy in mine as I hold my own children and teach them the same resilience you left in me. 

Everything I am- my courage, conviction, and my voice was carved out of your fight to live.

 So now, Mama, I fight for you. I speak for you.

This book is your resurrection. It’s my soul on paper. It’s our heart that never stopped beating, even when the world stopped listening. I was born from loss, built by truth, and chosen to break generational silence.

 You were taken from me, but your truth lives through me.

I dug through secrets, combed through files, read every article, document, and piece of evidence I could find. This case was meant to stay cold and forgotten... I just couldn’t let that happen. As I uncovered lie after lie, I made it my mission to bring the truth to light, no matter where it led me or whom it exposed. While not everyone may understand, this is my mother, my story, and our DNA, interwoven by God, grants me permission to uncover the truth. 

This is real justice.
