LaDonna M. Cook

I was born on a glorious day in September in a small town close to the Mississippi River. I am the fourth of five children. I attend grade school in Jefferson County School District. As a grade school student I became more intoned with myself and started writing what I felt on paper to express myself to the world and hoped that others would be blessed through my journey. During the year of 1998, my feelings on relationships, love, spirituality, and guidance became a vision and my writing got deeper into all the emotions that were on the inside and I wanted to express them more. Sharing a rare connection of emotions with others to heal the mind, body and soul is what my poetry will look like. While in college at Alcorn State University as an undergraduate studying for a B.A. in Social Work, I never lost the passion to write poetry and change the world one poem or note at a time. I decide to pursue my M.S. at Capella University, majoring in Counseling Studies. To open my eyes to a better world and help people live their best life, I'm currently working on my M.A. from South University in Professional Counseling. I'm happily married to the most supportive husband in the world. We have two children that teach us every day about the small and great things in life that we as adults tend to forget. Please enjoy and I hope this blesses your soul!!!!
