Author Lady Poet

Nneka J. Howell (Lady Poet) was born on May 17, 1990 on the south side of Chicago, IL. With passionate experience in writing short stories, music lyrics, and poetry for over fifteen years, she has become one of the most influential poets of her generation. While she is currently a senior at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana studying Communications, she is also the author of A Poet’s Heart and Real Women Get Their Hands Dirty. To her, writing is more than just ink on paper. She refers to writing as a personal reminder that every idea can become an action and every action is an opportunity.
