 How have the arts impacted you? The arts have impacted my life tremendously. As a teenager, I can remember listening to music and reading books to transcend from my reality of misfortune to a mental place full of creativity and positivity. What was your process like in writing your book? This was my first book. I really didn’t know what to expect, therefore, I hired a professional editor and publisher. Because my story was so personal; I had a lot of emotional breakdowns with each chapter. I had to seek professional help, before I was able to complete my story. What have you learned most about yourself from writing your book? I learned that I had more patience than I thought I did. I contemplated having a ghost writer, however, I had a change of heart. Who can tell a personal testimony better than the person who have lived it? What would you like women to walk away with after reading your book?
Dignity, Respect, High Self-Esteem, Knowing Your Worth and being Victorious. Also, knowing it’s okay to live through your scars. Scars heal overtime, just don’t become Broken. Having accomplished so much, what can people expect from you now?I’m currently working on my second book. “Dear Black Man, It’s Okay To Cry”. This will be my #1 seller. I can feel it. I’m a business owner of multiple businesses and I plan to continue soaring. How can we follow you?
