Because I was raised by an awesome grandmother that was an inspiration in my life always encouraging me to write. A aunt who was a school teacher along with her brothers who gave me the knowledge that I need to deal with my issues of having absent parents.
I was born in a small town Alexandria, LA where I attended school, also Grambling College where I learned to communicate with other students realizing that I had so much in common with them. It was doing the 60’s and early 70’s when I moved to San Francisco, California continuing to write.
I had many opportunities as I started to work with several directors and play writers and soon I started coordinating my own shows consisting of a group of models and dancers writing small scripts.
After two marriages that ended in divorced I was left to raise my three children I stopped writing to focus on a regular job. And then one day I realized that I needed to start writing again. I learned to express my frustration and angry through Poetry and it became my passion.
Today the opportunities I received has become my way of expressing myself I am very fortunately to write Lyrics for some of the most amazing jazz musicians in the Bay area. I have become a very passionate Spoken Word Artist performing with the “The Charles Unger Experience” jazz band.
I will continue my journey expressing words that has enhance all of my abilities to create what has been given to me as a gift.view less
