About Me

I was born under the sun, on the beautiful island of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. HUMBLY speaking, I consider myself a strong, spiritual, and positve Black Man.
I was born with Cerebral Palsy, so I walk a little un-orthodoxed, and I have a blurred speech. I don't consider myself disabled, handicap, physically challenged or any of that stuff; I am just a man who was born with cerebral palsy. These labels, and labels in general tend to limit. I am a Gentleman, a good Human Being, Polite, Respectful, Peaceful.
Things that I do as activities in My life are reading, though I don't consider myself a reader. I read mostly books on Black History, Black Consciuosness, Black Spirituality(spirituality in general),...everything Black. Right now My poetry, which I consider as a duty to write, is one of the most important activities in my life, but I must admit, inspiration has been scarce lately. GOD has blessed me with such a gift, and to not use it, not share it, not develop it, and not publish it to the world, would be to turn my back on GOD, to my people, and to the world.
All in all, I am simply a humble Brother. I have fualts, habits, good & bad,....
