The Poet:
My mother was and is still a poet who introduced me to poetry and expressive writing as a child in elementary school. My bed time stories were of Nikki Giovanni, Sonia Sanchez, Marcus Garvey, Phylis Wheatley, Langston Hughes, Paul
Lawrence Dunbar, Chavez, Gil Scott Heron, The Last Poets, and many others. I was a classically trained musician in the earlier part of my life, and performed with different bands and ensembles. Coming from a family background of music it was in my blood. My aunt was a jazz singer who performed with many of the greats that include Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie 'Yard Bird' Parker. There was always a jam session going on.

All of these influences started my writing experiences as a child and throughout my adulthood. My poetry styles are versatile in which I enjoy bringing a positive message. I participate in open mics and poetry/spoken
