She began writing poetry at the age of 6 years old, and has carried this skill with her throughout her life. She provides direct services to children who have experienced domestic violence in the home, poverty, grief and those who are economically challenged. She is very compassionate and truly cares about the children she serves. She is devoted to giving them the encouragement and support they need to speak out against abuse and to speak up for change. Ms. Banks-Harris has a Master’s Degree in social work and is currently working towards obtaining her social work license in the field. She also owns New Direction of Hope, LLC, where she teaches CPR and First Aid classes and under that same umbrella would like to someday own a group home and a family retreat. She hopes that her book would be used to help kids speak up against domestic violence abuse because it can also affect them, even if they don’t experience the immediate affects or first hand. She’s dedicated to promoting change and offers support for those who are vulnerable or have been victimised.view less
