"My work can best be described as the love that I make through my art to the vision of the unseen reality."

Poetry is the rhythm of life peering through the body for interpretation.  It is breathing, walking, doing, loving and awakening.  It is limitless in its ability to reach across genres and varying walks of life.  Poetry is transformative.  I create poems that expand boundaries through story telling, movement and breath.  I have to write.  Life calls herself "poetry."  From my first poem in grade school, I enjoyed painting pictures of my community through the written word.  I wrote about the challenges of being black, music, family life, love and being a girl.  My poetry didn't always flow and it didn't always rhyme.  Sometimes it was broken and then sunny, laughing then crying; but it was always in the threads of my garments and in my teeth.  Early on, I embraced wordsmiths such as Langston Hughes, Nikki Giovanni, Sonia Sanchez, S. Pearl Sharp and Haki Madhubuti because they captured the essence of the human spirit with credibility.  As for me, I will not rest until my work touches.

Love Power,

Peace & Blessings!

Sending positive energy, love and respect to Real Talk-Real Woman Radio (www.blogtalkradio.com/rtrw) for featuring me on their November 9th segment.

I throughly enjoyed spending time with the lovely host, Jaxx and her enthusiastic listeners.  Real Talk-Real Woman covers issues pertaining to women's health, relationships, empowerment, politics and writing by women authors.

I know "REAL" women and I count Jaxx as one of them.  Her work does not end with the radio show...that's when it actually begins...that's when she offers  true encouragement and inspiration that you can feel and see.  This is what Jaxx posted on my myspace page:

The lady reading this is beautiful, classy and
strong, and I love her.
Help her live her life to the fullest.
Please promote her and cause her to excel above her expectations.
Help her shine in the darkest places where it is impossible to love.
Protect her at all times, lift her up when she needs you the most,
and
let her know when she walks with you,
She will always be safe.
Love you, Sis!!!!

Please support this show.  You will learn something new, fellowship with Jaxx and vibe with the beautiful people in the chat room.  But more importantly, my heart gratefully receives her sincerity and support. Isn't it amazing what women can do when they are "REAL" and when they do what they feel and mean what they say.  Let's keep this positive energy going!  Jaxx, thank you for providing a way...

Audre Lorde said it best: 

 "For women, then, poetry is not a luxury. It is a vital necessity of our existence. It forms the quality of the light within which we predicate our hopes and dreams toward survival and change, first made into language, then into idea, then into more tangible action. Poetry is the way we help give name to the nameless so it can be thought. The farthest horizons of our hopes and fears are cobbled by our poems, carved from the rock experiences of our daily lives."

Love You!
