What does it mean to fall and still choose to stand?
Standing Before You is a collection of poetry, reflections, and quiet truths by Venezuelan-born writer Maholi Diaz. Written in both English and Spanish, this book invites you into a deeply personal journey through identity, resilience, and resistance.
Following her first book, Crumbling Before You, Maholi returns with a wiser voice. Softer, stronger, and more intentional. These pages carry emotional growth and the rediscovery of inner worth. From childhood wounds to immigrant strength, from love unspoken to hope reborn, this book is for anyone learning how to stand again.
Whether you're facing change, navigating silence, or searching for softness in a complicated world, Standing Before You reminds you that survival is poetry and that maybe, you're already standing.
This book is for those who feel deeply and love honestly. The ones who survived quietly. The ones still learning how to come home to themselves.
