In Search of a Soft Place Shamaka Schumake

This book was written at a time where I was finding softness an increasingly foreign concept. As a humanist, I found myself struggling to love my neighbor in truth, while I am experiencing genocide. This book documents the journey I traveled to find love, compassion, and gentleness again, in snapshots of poetry and photography. The writing of In Search of a Soft Place renewed my faith in the liberating power of truth telling. I hope the reading of it, contributes to the healing of us all. Thank you for joining me on this journey.
