My one-woman show, Walking On Water When The Ground Ain't Enuf. People kept asking about the stories & poetry that made up the show. They wanted to have them in writing. So two books were born, including one with only the poetry and spoken word pieces. #HopeIsContagious

Most times, emotional pain...gives me no choice but to write it out. Pain was the catalyst that started me writing at 8-years-old. I remember writing on my bedroom wall--in pencil, of course, "Nobody likes me. Everybody hates me." So writing became a way for me to release whatever I was feeling. Writing became my solace then; and is to this day.
