My Debut Book Coming Soon:Man Enough For Myself
Man Enough For Myself is my debut literary work and the most personal work I’ve ever shared.It's a coming of age memoir in poems, and they don’t look away.They move through addiction, poverty, queerness, transition, and the weight of being Black in a world that would rather erase you. They tell of hunger and survival, of fathers and brothers, of chosen family, of learning to surface again after burying yourself.This is my story. And maybe, in these pages, you’ll find pieces of your own.
About
I’m Donatello, a Black trans man and an artist. I’ve worked, struggled, and survived more than I thought I would. Writing and creating in whatever way I can have been the ways I’ve stayed present and made sense of where I come from. I make things because it’s the only way I know how to tell the truth about what I’ve lived through.What matters most to me is honesty. My work doesn’t hide from the hard parts, but it also makes space for love, family, and the small moments that keep me here. Some of it’s heavy, some of it’s light, but all of it’s me.
