I grew up in Rock River with my Aunt Beryl Miller. I attended the Rock River All Age School, the Mico Teachers College (now the Mico University College) in Kingston, Jamaica. I did my Bachelors in Education at the Institute of Education London (IOE).
I’ve been a teacher, social worker, cultural ambassador, orator, parish councillor, but above all, a performance poet who has won several gold medals in the Jamaica Cultural Development Speech and Drama Competitions.view less
