Regarding her writings, in her own words, reflecting on her life and decision making has been both terrifying and enlightening. As a young woman, Tyona sometimes found herself entangled in language.

​

She now finds that she too often reaches for language to express what she knows will never fully be understood.

Releasing pieces of herself to others for review has admittingly been a very frightening process. However, she bravely does just that, intentionally and thoughtfully, for the gift of conversion.
