About Brianna

Brianna Pastor (she/they) is a queer writer, empath, and advocate from New Jersey. Brianna began sharing her work on Instagram in 2014, as a coping mechanism to begin her healing journey. Journaling and introspection has always been at the forefront of her being--focusing on the importance of feeling our 'big feelings'.  She writes the raw, the uncomfortable, the overlooked; conveying that at the root of all things, is deep love. Brianna is very transparent about the traumas she has faced in her childhood and how this made for a very difficult journey in adulthood. Through her poetry, she hopes to confront these traumas head-on, giving hope to others who may endure similar struggles.

Her debut poetry book is published with HarperOne and is available wherever books are sold!
