We are excited to introduce our very own Chapters4Change Co-Founder, Jenn Sheila’s (she/they) debut book Full Bloom: A Coming Out Journey through Poems & Letters. Full Bloom was released in June 2025 on Amazon. This deeply personal collection explores her coming out journey through poetry, letters, and song lyrics, all woven together through themes of identity, fear, liberation, and self-love. Jenn hopes the book will empower others in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community to embrace their truth and celebrate who they are.
Told in four transformative stages—The Seed (Denial & Discovery), Roots (Fear & Struggle), The Seedling (Coming Out & Liberation), and Blooming (Healing & Self-Love), this book speaks to the rawness and beauty of growing into one’s truth. Each section is woven with symbolism, emotion, and vivid imagery that mirror the nonlinear, blooming nature of identity.
