Off the Deep End: Learning to Fly, One Breath at a Time

Tay is standing at the edge of the springboard, with butterflies twirling in her tummy.

She's not sure if she's ready, but she knows she was made for hard things.

With every breath, Tay finds her wings.

In this lyrical celebration of courage, mindfulness, and Black girl joy, Off the Deep End follows one girl's journey from nervous beginnings to fearless flight.

More than a story about diving, this is a story about daring to rise, even when you're scared, even when the future feels unknown.

With gentle affirmations, soaring imagery, and heartfelt resilience,

this story reminds us that you don't have to be unafraid to be brave, you just have to breathe, believe, and begin.

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do... is take one deep breath, and leap.
