Welcome. I’m Deborah Jefferson—author, poet, and founder of Our Words Matter. This space was created for women who are healing, finding their voice again, and learning to choose themselves without guilt. Through storytelling, poetry, faith, and honest conversations, I share the journey of becoming after heartbreak, loss, and survival. Whether you’re here to read, reflect, or reconnect with yourself, know that you are seen, your story matters, and growth is still possible—right where you are.
