Ocean Mother tells the story of a young woman\'s decision to heal herself, her family, and her home.
She explores the relationships between culture and identity, colonialism and inherited trauma, sense of place and generational healing..
Weaving together narratives of family, environment, Indigenous identity, decolonial love, and her CHamoru culture, the poet goes on a journey inward and overseas.
The poet gives voice to her experience as a CHamoru girl raised in the Pacific Island of GuÄhan (Guam), located in Micronesia.
