You don’t lose yourself all at once. You lose yourself in the spaces in between the lies.

For years, Niya stitched a double life together so flawlessly she couldn’t tell where the honor roll student ended and the reality of the streets began. Swept up in a world of fast money, fierce loyalties, and breathless survival, she navigated a reality draped in herringbone chains and played out across cracked sidewalks and visitation rooms.

But the suffocating weight of living a lie has an expiration date.

Chasing peace in all the wrong places, Niya slipped into a new world of quiet power and curated luxury. Seduced by the illusion of safety, she juggled secrets and deception until the lines of who she really was blurred completely.

Then came the night on the Deegan Expressway.

In a terrifying roar of shattered glass and twisted metal, the illusions were violently ripped away. Pinned beneath the wreckage of her own choices, Niya was forced into the ultimate reckoning. To survive the winter of her own making, the woman she used to be had to die so the mother she needed to be could finally bloom.

Love Is More Than An Emotion is a visceral, heartbreaking, and hauntingly poetic true story of survival, the shattering of generational trauma, and the brutal, beautiful journey of reclaiming your own soul.
