I’m Michon Fabio, author of Bonnet Therapy: Healing Through Spoken Word and host of Her Voice Unfiltered.

Tonight’s experience is different.

There are no interviews.

No conversations.

No background music.

Just poetry.

The way it was written.

The way it was meant to be heard.

These pieces were born from healing, from heartbreak, from self-discovery, from love, and from learning how to stand in my own truth.

Some of these poems may sound like me.

Some of them may sound like you.

And if you’re listening tonight carrying something heavy…

I hope you find a little bit of yourself in these words.

Thank you for being here.

This is…

I Am Pressure: A Live Spoken Word Experience.

Inheritance is more than money left behind.

In this special, Juneteenth and Father’s Day episode of Her Voice Unfiltered we reflect on the freedom purchased through sacrifice and the invisible inheritance passed from one generation to the next.

Through two original spoken word pieces Freedom and Inheritance this episode explores legacy, resilience, faith, family and the character that shapes who we become.

Some inherit wealth.

Some inherit wounds.

And some are blessed with something far greater…

An inheritance of integrity, courage, compassion, and hope.

As we honor those who fought for freedom and those who showed us how to live with character, may we also ask ourselves one important question:

Because freedom is a gift.

Character is a legacy.

And both are meant to be passed on…

The question becomes:

“What am I allowing around me?”

In this episode of Her Voice Unfiltered, we explore the unseen influences that shape our lives—the people we become around others, the stories we allow to live rent-free in our minds, the peace we choose to protect, and the journey of finally coming home to ourselves.

Through five original spoken word pieces—Let Love Be the Smoke, The People We Become Around People, Furniture in My Mind, The Air I Breathe Now, and Home—this episode invites listeners to examine the atmosphere they are creating and the energy they are allowing to remain.

Because healing isn’t just about what we release.

It’s also about what we choose to keep.

So take a deep breath, get comfortable, and stay with me for a moment.

You might discover that the peace you’ve been searching for has been waiting for you all along.

In this episode, we’re talking about the stories we carry about who we are, what we deserve, and what we’ve survived. Some of those stories were handed to us by family, relationships, disappointment, grief, or fear. Others were created in moments when we needed an explanation for pain.

But what happens when the story isn’t true anymore?

Join me as we explore the difference between who we really are and who we’ve convinced ourselves we are.

In this poetry session, we continue that journey through four original spoken word pieces that explore solitude, self forgiveness, healing, and self trust.

From learning that loneliness and solitude are not the same thing, to apologizing to the version of yourself you left behind while trying to save everyone else, these poems are a reminder that healing is often quiet, deeply personal, and profoundly transformative.

Featured poems:

Nobody clapped

The sound of an empty house

The version of me I owed an apology to

I trust her now

Because sometimes healing isn’t becoming someone new. Sometimes it’s finally returning to yourself.
