Inspired by one of my best friends, the founder of Miss B.O.S.S.

2003, I AM A “Rose”

This poem received honorable mention by Clark Atlanta University, for their youth poetry contest.

1999, The Mic

I was 14 years old, and this is where my love for poetry evolved!  I wrote this poem in my literature class, which was later received recognition by 9th grade teacher, and placed on display in the school’s library. This was a time in my life when I made a significant turning point, I became a “Super Christian.”  Zealous about discovering the mysteries of God and sharing what I’ve learned with my peers. Anyone who knew me back then at CHS (Decatur, GA), knew that I was Jesus Freak, by choice, lol.  In retrospect, I was very “green” in some of my outlooks on life, but I cannot deny that my naivety did not change my love for people.  I was authentic in my beliefs. This poem reflects my curiosity about human behavior and why people do what they do.    As an adult, I can say who I was then has shaped me into the woman I am today, an activist for social justice and empowering youth and young adults to live their best lives.
