Token for My Sanity

Token for My Sanity is a collection of poetry and prose that takes the reader on a journey of themes that shift from racism, pain, loss, and social stigmas to an appreciation of relationships, mental wellbeing, hope, and societal growth. Young showcases his desire to illuminate dark truths by bringing his raw life experiences to the forefront of his creative nature. He details the complexities of blackness, childrearing, love, and sense of self by embracing grey areas that cannot be categorized by the dualism of right and wrong. The approach to this body of work centers on presenting the entire truth no matter how traumatic or enjoyable. This collection reinforces the power of transforming heavy emotions into narratives that promote positive change.
