Our Path to Healing Begins with Storytelling

As an award-winning writer, author, and narrative healing alchemist, I help historically marginalized writers move beyond exploitation, retraumatization, and creative burnout to reclaim their stories as acts of sovereignty that ripple across seven generations.

In the D. Daye Hunter Narrative ecosystem, we take a trauma-and-healing-informed approach deeply steeped in ancestral memory, land-lunar-and-star-based wisdom, creative ritual, and community care. We create space for BIPOC writers to reconnect with our voices, tend to our stories while caring for our well-being, and write in alignment with our unique rhythms.

As an Afro-Indigenous storyteller, my own work weaves poetry and prose, creating lyrical memoir and hybrid collections that preserve untold histories, honor our cultures, and imagine futures our ancestors dreamed of and our relatives deserve.
