She wrote poetry as early as preteen years but fear of being judged/ ridiculed by peers & siblings she stopped writing or would throw poems away.
Her uncle (poet, musician, singer & songwriter) inspired her to not stop writing after found her one day folded up crying. He listened to her read one poem she was about to throw away & he was so pleased and begged her to never ever destroy her poems anymore. He offered his house for a safe place to hide her poems.
World Poetry would like to congratulate her on the new book!
