Writing from the young age of 12 she quickly realized that the art of poetry was a true gift given to her from God. She knows and believes that we all have a purpose on this earth and that hers is to touch others hearts and minds through her words. Her goal is to tap into your emotions and be able to make you smile, cry, laugh or maybe even just stop and think. She hopes that with her poetry she can make a change and touch your HEART through your EYES. As you read each poem she imagines that you will enter into her world; envision her ups and downs; her gains; her loses and even some of her pain. Rather spoken aloud or written down on paper she definitely has the ability to grasp you and leave you wanting more.view less
