About The Author

I was born in New York and raised in Louisiana, Oregon, and Key West, Florida. As a single mother of four grown children and a grandmother, my life journey has been deeply shaped by resilience, faith, and God’s unfailing love. This unfailing love gives me more strength. I spent eighteen years as a Nail Technician and am now a licensed Cosmetologist, with over two years as a hairstylist. My path has not been easy; I have struggled with mental illness, yet have found strength through faith and the idea of living amends.

Writing has always been a form of healing for me. I began writing poetry at eleven and have spent the past nine years as an Ancient City Poet, reciting at open mics in St. Augustine and performing spoken word at the Sing Out Loud Festival. I am also a long-time member of the Art Studio, displaying my art and supporting the local creative community. You can also buy my single mother books to understand the perception of my very own journey.

About The Book

Becoming Her I Become Me

I grew up in an environment marked by poverty and neglect, facing many hardships without the guidance of a positive male role model. When I became a mother, new challenges arose, and my battle with mental illness added another layer of struggle. Yet, through these difficulties, I found strength in God’s grace and His unwavering love, which guided me through some of life’s darkest moments. 

In Becoming Her, I Become Me, I share my story—a journey of resilience,healing, and self-discovery. This book is for anyone who has experienced family trauma and seeks solace in faith. It’s more than a personal account; it’s a reflection on overcoming life’s challenges and finding peace. For readers looking to buy books about family, books about healing, books about faith, and books about life lessons, or books about family trauma, I hope my story resonates and inspires. Through faith, family, and courage, healing is possible.
