Turning My Inside Out

About Me

I was born in Tanzanian and raised- Africa, Europe, Middle East. I've been writing as long as I can remember, poetry in particular. I have a passion for words and music. I love love love the sound of DRUMS, mixing ancient cultures with modern beats, putting intimate words and real emotions over eclectic melodies. God gave me a gift- He gave me words, and when I meet Him, face to Face.. or face to Fire, I would like Him to say He's pleased with me for using them well.
