Nakia R. Laushaul poetically gathers myths and misconceptions about life that threaten to hold the heart captive into her first bound collection, The Truth As I See It: In Poetry & Prose. She expresses her views of The Truth about Me and You, Love, God, and Life in powerful poems that make the truth look painfully simple and prose that tenderly draws you into the world as she sees it.
The Truth As I See It: In Poetry & Prose beautifully fuses together and creates light after tackling difficult and often times taboo topics. Out of pain and anger comes healing. Out of despair and disappointment comes hope. Out of the darkness of lies shines the truth.

http://nakialaushaul.blogspot.com THE TRUTH AS I SEE IT BOOK REVIEW
Nakia R. Laushaul has penned a striking work of art. I love spoken word poetry, preferring the performance over the written prose, but in reading The Truth as I see it, I found myself visualizing those performances. My favorites: "I Am a Tree" and "5 W's and How: A Reality Check" were two powerful pieces that spoke to me with passion and realism. Ms. Laushaul is a confident and intelligent writer who was able to direct my emotions with each passage. I felt empowered when reading "Part One: The Truth As I See it About You and Me."
I was in love when reading "Part Two: The Truth as I see it About Love." I felt spiritual when reading "Part Three: The Truth as I See it About God" and I was informed when reading "Part Four: The Truth as I See it About Life." The excerpt of her upcoming novel, Running From Solace was a tease that has me anxiously anticipating the release. I applaud Nakia R. Laushual for creating a work that is insightful and entertaining. Bravo! -- 5 star review by Monique D. Mensah, author of INSIDE RAIN
