Davenport. Born in February of that year to striving African American parents in South Florida, she was reared with 2 sisters and three brothers. Ms. Davenport was schooled in the Palm Beach County School System, where she currently teaches reading to struggling readers. Due to her own reluctance to reading in the past, teaching reading to others has given her an appreciation for reading and its importance. “Reading was something I wasn’t that fond of, I did it but, I didn’t care for it that much. I’d just as soon write some entries in a makeshift diary of spiral bound paper and a 3-ring binder. I wrote about whatever I wanted to write about.” During her career path, Ms. Davenport acquired a B.A. in Radio and Television Broadcasting. And after working a brief time in a television station she quickly found that the media industry was not where she wanted to be. “Mass Media unfortunately tends to thrive on the negative aspects of life with little emphasis on the positive. Writing has allowed me the opportunity to explore what’s good in life, different emotions and feelings.”view less
