I see myself as a newbie writer happy to be having successes with writing.

Of all of my roles poet and writer has to be my favorite role. Getting good feedback on my poems I’ve been able to publish or on my memoir writing and my course that I’m taking teaching me how to write for children I’m happier than I’ve ever been. I got my first blogger award nomination at thirty seven years old. I’ll be thirty nine years old in three days. I just love being a writer. Ideally I would have loved to get my Master’s degree in Creative Writing in Poetry. I got in to two Cave Canem poetry workshops. I managed to go only one of the poetry workshops I got in to. Cave Canem is competitive too. I feel good about that too. I was asked to write a letter in favor of Cave Canem and I did with a little help from my uncle. I am the happiest writer around. It feels so good to have four nominations for awards for my blog. I’m thrilled.
