Meet The Author

I am 31 years old and I am a mother of one. I'm from Columbia, SC born and raised. I am an Army Brat and the youngest of four siblings. In first grade is when my interest in reading,poetry,and writing began. Reading,poetry, and writing sparked my interest because it allowed me to use my imagination. I wrote my first short story in third grade. And I published my first book in 2022.

I am the owner and founder of Phoenix Beauty Co LLC which is an online beauty supply company. And I am currently in college working towards my Bachelors degree in Healthcare Management. I believe as black women we should empower ourselves with knowledge and entrepreneurship. As Madame CJ Walker said "Don't sit down and wait for the opportunities to come. Get up and make them.”
