Ally Loyns is a Self-published Author x2, musician, and Borderline
Personality Disorder advocate who has called Winnipeg, Manitoba home
since birth. Through raw and real poetic storytelling, she has a vision to
embolden the healing journeys of people with Borderline everywhere by
sharing her lived experience. She self-published her first collection of
poetry at 20 years of age in February of 2021 titled A Generation of
Sunflowers. She impressively at 22 released a second collection titled
Bloom, the sequel to her first collection. Her work speaks to the intricate life
she has lived and to widen perspectives around mental illness.
Ally fiercely advocates for those living with BPD and hopes, in time to
create the BPD Society of Manitoba, along with peer lead support groups.
She believes that it’s time to initiate the conversation here in Manitoba
around the stigma that clouds borderline. To her, nothing holds more power
than the solidarity of like-minded souls with one mutual goal: overcoming
hardship via self-compassion. She strives to break stigma around BPD one
copy of ‘A Generation of Sunflowers’ and ‘Bloom’ at a time.Â
