So basically this is the kind of poetry u would need to read after a heart break or like a hard time, i remember reading most of the poems n being like I really needed this♡,
My favourite part about the book was the advice part, they truly helped me know my worth n feel better about myself,
The poems are so relatable and so easy to understand, i fell in love with every single poem in the book! which made choosing my favourite poem a very hard task cuz i have like 10 favs or so♡ maybe "i deserve" or "dear self" are the absolute favourites of mine, cuz at a time i felt so low n not good enough they were the message i really needed at that time, so thank u so so much Tene u totally helped me through a very hard time♡
.
Absolutely recommend this book, especially if you're anything like me n u r for self love n women empowering♡
.

A beautifully uplifting poetry collection exploring love, loss, and inner strength. 
Though the verses are short, their power is unequivocally clear. There are five sections to the collection: Monsoon Love, Winter Sorrow, Autumn Grace, Spring Resilient, and Summer Freedom. 

I really struggle to pick just one as my favourite, as each have poems that stand out and carry. But some of my favourite poems are:
Celebrate Yourself
A Letter To My Natural Hair
True Colors
Introvert
Love Song
Appreciation

It’s pretty easy to enjoy Walk With Wings in one sitting, but its words still have a lasting effect. I love that there are some poems that are nice to look at, some that are relatable, and then some that are so touching you’re ready to re-read before it’s over. This collection is a stunning reminder to keep up with self-care, even in the simplest of words. And the illustrations within the pages are the perfect touch!

and start celebrating the things that you have achieved.”

It’s interesting that I’m not the biggest poetry reader, yet this book was a true delight to read. Thank you to to the author for my copy!

It honestly has potential to be better but it just fell flat. A lot of the poems were repetitive and lacked depth. There were good ideas but the writing seemed child-like.

Walk with Wings told through 5 chapters. Out of these, my favourite would be the Autumn Grace :) 

See, this is the hardest part about reviewing poetry. Because me as a reader can only review as far as what I feel fit for me and how it make me feel. But poetry it's a different world. It's someone's personal journey. It is very personal. So, sometimes I feel silly for reviewing poetry. 
A lot of Tene's poetry may not speak to me, but I know it will empower others. 
I am not saying that it did not empower me at all. It did. But perhaps, I am no longer in that season so that I feel disconnected. BUT, please don't let my review stop you from picking this book. Because it's beautiful and honest. I am just giving a rating based on how I feel and whether it is connect to me personally or not.
