      Summary:  In Reflections of Life’s Journey, Monica Thompson embarks on a journey of self-reflection and worldwide observation. She ponders the world as we know it today in the midst of a global pandemic, as well as the AmeriKKKa our ancestors experienced in centuries both recent and long past. Her rawest emotions and experiences are transmuted into poetry as she writes about her familial relationships, her penned path ultimately leading her home—within, back to herself.
