Laquin Mind, Pen & Paper

By LaQuin Celette

Writing has always been my passion. Growing
up in the Bronx you had to have a release
from all the negativity. I never thought
I would write a book, let alone get it published to the
WORLD. As you go through page by page, you will see
what I saw and experienced. Maybe you can relate to each
word written. I wrote from my heart however, realizing
I am not the only one who has challenges. So as you
read these poems know that I am you and we experience
similar obstacles. Never be afraid to express yourself.

Ever since I was a little girl I would write. It was a gift I had early on. It was an easy escape. I grew up in the Bronx, the birth of hip hop so I guess you could say rhyming came easy. I am not good with talking about myself so if you want to know more about me you can email me at www.laquincelette.com

dedicate this book to my Aunt Tine. She passed away a few years ago and I can’t get her out of my head, I know I never will. She always inspired me, for her I always wanted to work harder at what I did. I never wanted
