Throughout her early adult life and military career, Sy'needa has written poetry. A significant number of her most profound pieces were written during her plight as a "targeted" military whistleblower. As a spiritually holistic scribe, Sy'needa draws inspiration from nature, life's experiences, history, social issues, art and spiritual enlightenment.
