Domestic Violence Awareness Month


Domestic Violence Awareness Month — A Personal Tribute by Nelly Vee

October stands as a month of remembrance, reflection, and awareness — a time to honor those who have endured the unseen scars of domestic violence. As an author, a father, and a man who values emotional truth, I dedicate this tribute to every survivor who found the strength to reclaim their voice.

From my newly released book, Chronicles — Where Shadows Breathe, the piece titled “Puzzle Pieces — Completion” unfolds a raw and deeply personal journey through love, loss, and rediscovery. It’s more than a story — it’s a mirror reflecting countless silent battles, told through one woman’s letter and the ache of fractured trust.

The reading, inspired by the spirit and cadence of the legendary Dr. Maya Angelou, gives sound to resilience, pain, and healing. This October, I stand in solidarity with every survivor — men and women alike — who have been diminished by violence yet refuse to remain broken.

  • Healing begins when we speak.
  • Wholeness begins when we listen.
  • Awareness begins when we care enough to confront what too many still hide.

This project features an AI-generated voice that creatively interprets stylistic elements inspired by the late Dr. Maya Angelou. It is not a replication of her actual voice, nor does it imply any endorsement, connection, or affiliation with her estate. The voice is used exclusively for artistic and promotional purposes within a creative project exploring themes of love, loss, and healing.

This work is dedicated to honoring survivors of domestic violence and amplifying awareness of the importance of speaking out — and listening deeply.

Experiencing this piece narrated in a voice reminiscent of Dr. Maya Angelou’s timeless cadence brought its essence vividly to life. Do you believe this is a piece she might have loved to read, if she were still here with us?

The Present Smells Like a Rose: A Poetic Masterclass in Grace and Resilience by KPC  Some poems don’t ask for attention. They earn it—line by line, breath by breath. In this latest feature from Krafty Page ChronicleS , Vo Thi Nhu Mai delivers a piece that doesn’t just sit on the page. It moves. It carries weight. It reminds you what quiet strength really looks like. “The Present Smells Like a Rose” is not just poetry—it’s presence. A Journey Through the Stanzas The opening doesn’t hesitate. It establishes identity with clarity and intention: “She enters the world with steady light / History learns her footsteps by heart.” That’s not introduction—that’s declaration. This is a woman who doesn’t wait to be recognized. She becomes the standard. “Steady light” isn’t loud, but it’s undeniable. It doesn’t flicker for approval. It remains. Labour, Culture, and Courage The strength in this piece isn’t one-dimensional. It’s layered, ...
