They often fostered her desire to manipulate thoughts and ideas. To be honest, she was the secret writer of her high school newsletter. Early on, she wrote for B Visible Magazine, which is based in her hometown of Memphis, TN. Although she currently resides in South Carolina, she is more determined to forge forward in her lifelong endeavors. Her other marketing experiences include work in radio and television (formerly ‘In the Midst with Tracey’ host). Her educational accomplishments include a Certificate in Computerized Accounting, a BBA in Management from LeMoyne-Owen College and MSSW in Social Work from University of Tennessee. Her professional/social associations include Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., maintaining a relationship with her undergraduate alumni, and networking with other therapeutic professionals. Her 18 years of social service coupled with managerial and teaching experience has added to her base. Writing is simply a natural correlation of her innate desire to be a blessing to others. Prior to the term ‘bucket list’ becoming popular, she always knew she was destined to write a book. Although not currently teaching, she hopes to implore her ideal that (a) education is imperative; and (b) life is empirically shorter than we can conceive. Her two daughters, Dominique and Angel are a great part of who she is. Her hope is that others will realize they too can succeed and to not be held to the confines of others or a “box”. To date, she enjoys being a mother, friend, sister, daughter, therapist, teacher, speaker, and writer. To be an author, is a lifelong dream and another accomplishment she is yet proud to add to her catalog of undertakings.view less
