Welcome to Sole Witness

Sole Witness Intro, what is it, who am I and why now:)I came here to tell you about my books.Somehow this happened instead.And honestly? It feels more like what I was supposed to do all along.I’m Roya Nava. Author. Mom. Wife. Daughter. Sister. And most of all — a human trying to figure out this life one reflection at a time.This is Sole Witness.For the woman who has spent her whole life being everything every room required of her — and has forgotten what it feels like to be truly seen.It started with a trilogy. But it was never really about the books.It was always about the questions underneath them.You will hear my voice crack. You will see me fumble. I’m not cutting all of that out — because that’s what being witnessed actually looks like.Not perfect. Not polished. Just real.If you are a master of acting fine — and have forgotten what it feels like to be truly seen — welcome.I’m glad the box couldn’t hold it. This is a public episode.
