Our Story

Behind the Words

​

Growing up, I was always able to express myself most through my writing.

I was a little Black girl from the DMV with a huge imagination who channeled all that creativity into writing stories, who grew into a teenager who spilled her heart out in poetry, who became a young woman who wrote passionate blogs celebrating Black culture and the issues our community faced. But it wasn’t until 2000 that I finally listened to my inner voice and challenged myself to pursue a career as a writer. I did it all: technical writing, persuasive writing, social media posts, email marketing, campaign communications, and more. Thank goodness I did. These days, I’m fortunate to have translated my skills and experience into a successful career.

​

I am constantly learning and expanding my literary style and voice, approaching every challenge I come across as an opportunity to grow and develop as a writer.
