I was born and raised in Bronx, New York. Along my life’s journey, I have lived in South Carolina and Maryland. I currently reside in Manhattan’s renaissance neighborhood—Harlem.

I am a mother, grandmother, writer, blogger, and woman with a voice.

My love of reading took root in my youth. For decades I rarely left home without a book in tow. Reading for me is like breathing. 

After several decades of working in the legal industry and being laid off during the pandemic, I returned to school to pursue a degree in English-Creative Writing. It was there that I discovered my niche—writing. Encouraged by my professor, I began publishing my work. Butterflies, my debut novel, will be released on October 13, 2022. It is a coming-of-age story of three African American best friends in 1960s Harlem, blossoming into womanhood and navigating the racial and political unrest sweeping the nation. Butterflies is a heartwarming story of love, family, friendship, and resilience.

My writing focuses on real-life issues facing everyday people. I am a brutally honest writer, pulling no punches. I tug at hearts and create fires knowing that from scorched earth, flowers bloom lush. I write with hopes of improving the human condition. 

My second book, Cult’s Prey, is based on true events and centers around three friends unwittingly ensnared by a religious cult. It is currently in the publishing phase—the anticipated release is early 2023. I will provide updates as my book progresses.

In addition to writing novels, essays, and poetry, I am a blogger. Please check out my page -The Blog Corner, where I tackle many social justice issues.
