I’ve come a long way. I think I’ll have my memoir finished by the time I turn forty. I’ll also have my second Bachelor’s in Early Childhood Education by age 40. I sing myself and my friends at NAMI acknowledge me. Everybody knows I’m the Black one and they are mostly all friendly with me and treat me like they like me. I find the people at NAMI Mercer NJ to be great people for the most part. Even when we talk race everybody says “Ayesha you are doing a good job”. They all congratulate me about going to college and pursuing my goals. I have good friends there. They all know I’m Black and I sing myself. Nobody would be mean or treat me poorly. The people are mostly very nice and seem to genuinely like me! But most people would say “Ayesha sings herself” That’s contemporary and it makes me feel so cool! I love dressing up for the Just Friends Halloween party every year I’ve gone as everything from a nun to a Lawless Lady. This year I’m going as the American Dream and I’m thankful for Black American Poetry!
I sing myself and all my Caucasian friends are nice at NAMI Mercer NJ.

I am a Black Guyanese woman. I'm thirty nine years old. I went back to college to take Early Childhood Education classes. I want to get a second 48-credit BA degree in Early Childhood Education by 2021. I go to NJCU. I have a BA in Creative Writing from NJCU. I graduated from NJCU in August 2015. I transferred to NJCU from Mercer. I have my AA degree from Mercer in Humanities and Social Science since May 2007. I write poems, I write memoirs, I'm a blogger and I am taking a children's lit course. I love reading memoirs. I also do book reviews from time to time. My favorite poet is Emily Dickinson.
