Pain to Purpose A Memoir by Kenyatta Edwards

I was born into silence, raised in a world where fear spoke louder than love, and trauma took root before I could even speak my truth. But this is not just a story about pain, this is a story about becoming.
Pain to Purpose is my journey, unfiltered and unapologetic. From a childhood filled with emotional wounds, abandonment, and survival, I reveal how I carried those scars through my identity, my queerness, and my fight to break generational cycles. This memoir speaks to the forgotten children, to LGBTQ+ youth who feel invisible, and to every survivor still learning how to breathe again after the storm.
Through heartbreak and healing, I found my voice. Through grief, I found grace. And through every broken piece of me, I found purpose.
This isn’t just my story, it’s a mirror for those still holding back tears, still searching for hope, still waiting for someone to say, “You’re not alone.
