Some poems are tributes to the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Tracy Chapman, and Nikki Giovanni, while others tell stories of joy and pain reflecting the vivid visions of the author.She Rose is unique because these rhythmic poems, thought-provoking quotes, and affirmations promote balance, understanding, healing, and progress.

Please help support an independent artist, and order this book today!

Get it autographed for yourself, your Mom, Daughter, Sister, or anyone! Makes a great gift!

I was born to run. The first time I kicked in the womb my race had begun. I'm running a temperature that will leave a blazing trail beneath my feet. Even if the rivers in my eyes turn cold I have a promise to keep. I was told to run....That's an excerpt from one of my popular poems called "Run!" of course. You can here some of my music and poetry on my artist page.I have three sites this one, my artist/band page below (yes I'm #1 on my list or my own best friend) and last but not least my official webpage is where you can sign up for my newsletter for upcoming events, read my resume and bio or cop a CD/Book at venusjones.com .If I had to describe myself in one word, it would be "versatile." I decided that this site is a chance for you to get to know my thoughts and feelings on subject matter most people don't discuss.I'm pretty choosey about my real "friends" outside of myspace so to keep with tradition if you request an add tell me why you want to be mine or share something about yourself (words mean a lot to me) so this is just a test to see if you actually read my blurb...but I'm a sucka if your name is Venus... you automatically are welcome to join my unofficial club! If you really know me like that, feel free to post a comment -- you could begin it with, "Remember when.... " But the truth is I don't spend a lot of time chatting on line. Every now and then, I may drop a journal or a poem like this one called:COME IN:I ‘m inviting you to come in.Listen and learn. Show and share interest. Inquire within. Want to know who I am? Want to really know where I’ve been?Welcome to my space. I’m not coming out. I ‘m inviting you to come in.The less we beg to question more than often. We lose another quoted friend. Will you stand in silence staring at an open door in bitter cold wind?I’m not coming out. Welcome to my space. Come on in.

My Interests

Working less and getting paid more so I can spend more time finding new interests: Language, Poetry, The Arts, Community Service, Dancing, Listening to Music, Theater, Kung Fu, and Travel.

I'd like to meet:

Fellow Poets, Actors, Artists, Dancers, and other people in the Biz who like my look, ideas, or my work. Well Known People I'd like to interview Include: Maxwell, Maya Angelou, Oprah Winfrey, Mae Jemison, Debbie Allen, India Arie, Maya Lin, Jill Scott, Whoopi Goldberg, Tracy Chapman, Lauryn Hill, Meshell Ndegeocello, Chris Rock, Carol Burnett, Tavis Smiley, Tom Joyner, Queen Afua, Cornel West, Susan Taylor, and Amy Goodman

Music:

I'm an artist with a strong political and social conscience, but I can still lighten up and have fun. I dance to Latin music, Neo-Soul, Funk, and Jazz! Favorite artists: Meshelle, Tito, Maxwell, Erykah Badu, Anthony Hamilton, and Spam Allstars. I lean towards a groovy base line, pretty piano, soulful vocals, melodies and chords and basic structure layed down by a drum beat.

Movies:

Favorite female Actors: Salma, Halle, Angelina. I'm picky, but if you are (or resemble) any of them, I'm falling... especially if you have brains. ;)My favorite musical of all time was Polly with Keisha Knight (Rudy from the Cosby Show), but it's out of print. :( If you have it, please me let me know!I love stand up by Chris Rock and some suspense every now and then. Did I mention I also love to watch Brad Pitt and I wish Maxwell or Lenny Kravitz would do at least one movie. Maybe they could play mailmen or pizza delivery guys! :) Just joking, Steve!

Television:

I'm supposed to be an actress, but I don't watch much TV to be honest. I tune into 360 to peep a b-boy or girl and watch PBS and Oprah every now and then.

Books:

"Acts of Faith" and "Everyday I pray" by Iyanla Vanzant, "The Dark Side of the Light Chasers" by Debbie Forward, "Chicken Soup for the Soul" by Jack Canfield, "Wouldn't Take Nothing for my Journey Now" by Maya Angelou, "Return to Love" by Marianne Williamson "From the Browder File" by Anthony T. Browder

Heroes:

Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad Ali, Ghandi, El Haijj Malik Shabazz, Tavis Smiley, Cornel West, Bill Cosby, Bono
Sheroes Mary, Mother Theresa, Helen Keller, Frida Kahlo, Tina Turner, Angelina Jolie, Assata Shakur
