Worth of Diamonds: Poems Based on Inspired Events

Worth of Diamonds is an empowering collection of poetry and prose that explores profound and practical themes alike, including healing, letting go, loving yourself, connection with God, self-empowerment, triumph in hard times, and seeing your worth like that of diamonds.

Makinde reminds readers that when you overcome adversities, let go of your past, see yourself the way you were destined to be seen, and move forward with your life, you actually give the greatest gift to yourself--and the world.
