<p>I was born the year Emmett Till was murdered in Money, Mississippi, and raised in West Philadelphia, a  daughter of The Great Migration of my black brothers and sisters from the Rural South (1916 - 1970).I also grew up in the turbulent birth of the Civil Rights Movement with a battle for equality and justice that continues to this very day. The players have changed, but the struggle remains the same.  I learned quickly that my America included people like James Brown and Angela Davis, reminding me to be Black and Proud, and that there were many people in the other America who hated me for one reason only: I am black. The other America portrayed on the television screen was not the America I lived in. Around this time, I began my love of reading and writing. Writing for me has become a way to express the love, the hurt, and all the feelings in between. My writings have evolved as I have evolved. My early poems reflect love and loss. Like all young women finding true love was a major part of my existence. My writings continue to reflect the journey of my life and the struggles of America to realize that we all matter. Through my poems, I have tried to celebrate those differences. As we journey through life, we must learn to meet each person where they are regardless of race, age, economic status, disability, or any other difference they may have. We must learn to celebrate each life and each journey. For in this celebration, we truly learn to experience and enjoy life for all she is.I believe that one person can make a difference. If everyone who reads or listens to my poems wakes up tomorrow and vows to make just one more person in the world happy, I will have completed the journey of this book.  May those who read my poetry, or join me for a reading, see a reflection of themselves.</p>
