This is not an easy listen. But it’s a story that must be told.
In Before I Was Born, She Did This, Alia lays everything bare. From birth, she lived under a false identity and endured cruelty at the hands of her mother. She was starved, bitten, neglected. Left alone in a freezing room, soaked in urine, with no bedding. She was on the child protection register, but no one came.
At fifteen, she escaped. Loving friends helped her survive. But it was poetry and music that saved her soul. Through words, she found solace. And eventually, her voice.
Her mother barely spoke to her, except to bully and humiliate. Years later, Alia uncovered a truth more terrifying than memory. Her mother had a past conviction. A baby who didn’t survive.
This is not just a memoir of survival. It is a reckoning. From being thrown into a women’s refuge to reclaiming herself through drag, through the spoken word collective Raw, and through this book, Alia pulls the unfiltered truth into the light.
A life that was never meant to be lived, lived fully. Ruthless in truth. Raw in heart. Impossible to ignore. She lived to tell it. And now, she’s telling it all.
©2025 Alia Breeze (P)2025 Alia BreezeI grew up in the ’80s, life was tough. Punishment was routine, and intervention rare. But this… this was something else. Barbaric, pleasure-driven violence inflicted by a mother on her child. And society? It looked away. This woman was a convicted killer. She had a history of abuse. A dead baby. And still, she was known to the so called “safeguarding” team. How was she allowed near another child?
I wept while listening. Not just for Alia, but for every child failed by the very people meant to protect them. I don’t know how her life might have unfolded in care but it couldn’t have been worse than this.
I’ll be watching for updates and praying that professionals have truly learned something and she gets her day in court. To be a silent note taker is to be complicit. S x
A brutal, unforgettable listen.

SO BRAVE
