Expressions of a Life

By Danielle Rashea Brown

Expressions of a Life is Danielle Rashea Brown’s first book of poetry, although she has been writing poetry for over 40 years. This book is a compilation of poems written during her younger years that were inspired by those moments in time that were too priceless for her to let go, those treasured moments that nurtured the soul of who she was then and those individuals who left a little of themselves behind. Expressions of a Life is treasured moments in time.

First, I would like to thank my dad, Herman L. Bass Jr., the man who supported me in all of my many endeavors. From the writing of these poems (which became my first book of poetry), to my dream of setting the modeling world on fire (remember that haircut, dad?!) Well, you supported most of my endeavors, lol, and my many business ventures. Dad, you were my compass when I needed direction. I didn’t always know the path that I was to take, but you prepared me for the journey. I thank you for being the father that I needed and for all the valuable life lessons. And you gave them to us straight, no chaser!! Love
