Synopsis

"My power is worth more than your lies" Why are we continuously giving away our power to those who do not respect or deserve it? Krista Love is an overweight and insecure African American newspaper reporter in Portland, Or, trying to manage her sometimes dysfunctional relationships with her abusive man, her emotionally ambivalent mother, her bossy best friend, and her drug-addicted sister. Along her tumultuous journey, Krista discovers the healing power of poetry to help reclaim her voice that had been so long buried under the needs of so many others in her life, and to rehabilitate her bruised sense of self. This is a healing and empowering story of the importance of not giving others the responsibility to love you more than you love yourself. After all, your power is worth more than someone's lies.
