  AUTHOR ZAIN!!!...BEYOND WORDS
  

  ZAIN!!!!...Beyond Words
      Zain!!!!  known professionally as author, educator and mentor clearly defines herself as an African which automatically makes her a mother, spiritual being and servant of her people through her delivery of ancestral and spiritual messages.  However, if one looks deeper into the origin and meaning of her name passed down from her grandmother, one may discover that this was her destiny from birth.  Her name also spiritually drawn from the book of Psalms, may further explain why Zain!!!! expresses her love of Africa and those throughout the Diaspora with almost every breath she takes.
      Zain!!!!, a native of Savannah Georgia, spent most of her life in New York  where her writing skills were born. Once she realized how powerful the indelible word could be, her spoken or written messages  provoke thought and compel her audience to live their responses all while being fully entertained.   Activist and Public Enemy member Chuck D reaffirms   “the poetry in Zain!!!!...Now What?  is like refreshing oxygen to the masses gasping for logical air.  Her poems about love, politics, social issues and family has her committed to raising consciousness into actions from words.   Her audience can look forward to her soon to be released   “Luminouslotuslove”…which is a compilation of essays, commentaries, poems and short stories dedicated to all females making a lifelong transition into the sacredness of womanhood.
      While earning her undergraduate degree in print journalism and English at Savannah State University Zain!!!! enjoyed reading the writings of Sonia Sanchez, Tina Mc Elroy Ansa, j california cooper and James Baldwin.   Zain!!!!’s   matriculation at SSU was rich, fostering and cementing her love of grassroots cultural events and support of HCBUs. Her undergraduate studies in history and grad studies in literacy education were achieved while listening to her eclectic musical playlist of Alexander O Neal, Shirley Horn, Raphael Saadiq, Mark Antoine, Sting, The Roots and Common. A simple New York breeze in August or the elderly woman she held the door for at the post office easily inspires the author.  It is however, the triumphs and struggles of her people that undoubtedly   drives her.  Ironically, “Visions for Black Men”  by Dr. Na’im Akbar blueprinted what kind of woman Zain!!!! must transition into and “My Life in Search of Africa”  by Dr. John Henrik Clarke urged her to continue her life long commitment to unapologetically  educating and loving her people.
      Zain!!!! has throughout her young adult years taken a few career paths including professional makeup artist, paralegal and favored middle and high school teacher in NY which she says is one of the greatest  experiences of her life simply because she gets the purest view of the world through the eyes of her students. So it is of no surprise that  her most valued responsibility for the past decade has been nurturing her family.  Zain!!!!’s passion is to continue molding young minds in and out of the classroom, facilitating the “Luminous Lotus Love” rites of passage experience [to empower young females into womanhood] while continuing  to take her people throughout the Diaspora on her spoken and written  journey in mindbodyspirit far beyond words.

  TESTIMONIALS:
   “I predict she goes far, and I am pleased, indeed honored, that she, by requesting my few words here, has taken me along for the literary ride.” – Lee R. Haven (Author) [Excerpted from forward of Zain!!! Now What?]
  “I must say, that aside from being a beautiful woman, you are absolutely beautiful in thought. Your words resonate an elegantly needed message that we as poets have conveyed in so many ways and words for a long time. You get it, you really get it. Aside from that, I can hear the rhythm in your words, the life imbuing calls to action. The manner in which you weave your tapestry takes me back home. You indeed have an old soul dwelling within you. My husband and I are interested in posting your work on our website with your permission. Peace & Blessings,”
