Veronica is a poet and fictional storyteller. Her love for poetry started in elementary school in the second grade when she wrote her first poem called “Four Seasons.” Later in Junior High School Veronica, for a gift, received a Diary from a late Childhood Crush where she developed the love of Journaling.
By High School, Veronica was still Journaling and writing poetry. Her love for poetry deepened when her mother, named also Veronica came running into her room one day to tell her about a woman who was on television reciting poetry just like her; Veronica was amazed to watch a woman of color recite words she did not understand but knew at that moment she was a poet too. That woman who made her smile as she watched her on television was the late Maya Angelou.
Veronica currently sells writing journals on Amazon and will soon be releasing her long-overdue Sci-fi Adventure, name TBA, followed by her first serialized storyview less
