Love IS Revolutionary.

About Me

I’m a woman with issues. I have an issue with sistas who feel that there are no good men left in their world. I have an issue with becoming comfortable with a stable paycheck, instead of being compensated for exercising my true talents. I have an issue with people who call themselves Poets but have a way with their words off stage that makes me question their poetic integrity. That’s why I write. I write because it’s the most appropriate outlet for me to intelligently articulate how I feel about the issues I’m dealing with or have experienced. To not feel connected with, or to not be concerned with what’s authentic in my life speaks injustice to the storyteller that resides in my heart. I know that it’s ok to acknowledge the positive or negative checkpoints of life no matter how deep or surfaced the topics are. And while the only approval I seek is that of the words that I speak and write I welcome feedback from the most authentic of souls. Poetry helps me deal and in a matter time I can heal and feel what’s real. I hope that my poetry will somehow, someway touch as many lives as God will allow so that you all may deal with your issues too.

My Interests

Writing poetry inspired by the emotional travels I am and have been going thru, sleep and plenty of it, multi-trips to Target, dancing with a group of great friends, or at least a guy with some fantastic dancing skills (bumpin’-n-grindin’ don’t count!), taking myself out on dates, creating artistic concepts for my design line of t-shirts, taking my brother out to breakfast, cooking (I can do more than just boil water), having intense conversations with God, good old-fashioned Romance…

Music:

Music is pretty much the soundtrack of life. If I like it, it's cool with me. Heavy Rotation: Mos Def (Black on Both Sides). He is one of THE dopest emcees around.

Movies:

I love em, just haven't been up on my movie game. Absolute fave is Coming to America. Just let your soul glow.

Books:

Current Read: "Spiritual, but not Religious". I am working towards self-publishing a book of poetry.

Heroes:

Momma Dukes. She got out of bed to bring me gas when I forgot to put some in my car and was stuck on La Brea and Rodeo. Enough said.
