I am a 20-year-old, African American Woman, a first-generation college student, and a poet. I have been writing since I short stories and narratives since the age of 10. Considering my love for literature coupled with having a vivid imagination it wasn't long until I found my niche for poetry and other forms of art. I enjoy writing poetry and painting an emotional image with my words. Writing became a therapeutic outlet for me and has helped me through some of my darkest moments and life experiences. I am now releasing what I used to hide and hold close to my heart to share with the world, in hopes of moving forward in my healing and to help other heal also.
