Emma Desulme is a Haitian American creative with a lifelong passion for music, crafting, and writing. She is the author of Soul of a Rising Phoenix, a poetry collection that delves into the often-silent struggles, triumphs, and emotional experiences many face in life. In this work, she introduces “Crenglish Poetry,” a unique genre that blends her native Creole and English, capturing her heritage and artistry in an innovative way.

When Emma isn’t writing, she’s likely playing one of the nine musical instruments she’s learned—many of them self-taught—as a member of her community band. Beyond music, she channels her creativity through her business, Savvy Creations by Emma, where she crochets while watching anime. She also teaches CPR and First Aid as a certified American Heart Association instructor, helping others learn essential life-saving skills. And as an avid traveler, she’s always ready to explore new places and cultures.

From a young age, Emma turned to poetry as an outlet for self-expression, especially when feeling misunderstood. Writing became her escape, her confidant, and a means of growth as she navigated personal challenges. Her faith in God has fueled her resilience, and Soul of a Rising Phoenix embodies her journey to overcome obstacles and embrace her potential. Her book is a physical representation of her releasing the very things that used to bind and keep her from greatness. Emma’s goal is to inspire readers to pursue what scares them most and step out of their comfort zones. She believes that if your dreams aren’t intimidating, they aren’t honoring the greatness God intends for you.
