How Far You Have Come by Morgan Harper Nichols

Become who we are in the moment you hold right now.

Reclaim moments of brokenness, division, and pain and re-envision them as experiences of reconciliation, unity, and hope.

Have a deeper understanding of pressing on and pressing in, of transformation and surrender, of meaning in the losses and wild anticipation for the splendor ahead.

Awaken our hearts and recognize how our own histories have made us who we are today.

Morgan weaves together personal reflections with her signature poems to share her journey to reclaim moments of brokenness, division, and pain and re-envision them as experiences of reconciliation, unity, and hope. In the midst of the hurt and the mundane, the questions and the not-yets, we can forget just how far we have come.

How Far You Have Come is an exquisitely illustrated collection of poetry and essays from bestselling artist and writer Morgan Harper Nichols. Morgan is originally from Atlanta, Georgia, and she and her husband Patrick currently reside with their son Jacob, in Phoenix, Arizona, where you can also find her studio and shop, Garden24. She is on the board of directors at TWLOHA (To Write Love on Her Arms). Her book of poetry and art, “All Along You Were Blooming,” is available where books are sold. As a designer and author, her work has been available in many stores, including Anthropologie, Barnes and Noble, and Target. The fruit of this project is shared daily around social media, in publications, and in various creative collaborations and installations.Īs an artist, Morgan has collaborated with a wide range of brands including Coach, Adobe, Vogue Singapore, Aerie, and more.

From there, she creates art as a response to their stories and sends it to them before sharing the work publicly. In 2017, Morgan started a project where she invites people to submit their stories to her website. It was on the road that she cultivated her curiosity and passion for writing, art, and design and slowly began to share her work online.

Morgan spent the first couple of years of her professional life as a college admission counselor, and then, as a full-time touring singer-songwriter and musician.
