Born in Chicago, IL in 1976 later moved to Peoria, IL. at a young age. I began being very serious about writing in the 5th grade. I loved the idea of passing notes. I loved to write and rhyme, leaving a special impression on each letter. As I became older I still loved to write, but had a strong desire to accomplish other things. I wanted to work and obtain a lot of skills doing different things. I lost a lot of my writings and poems through various moves and life changing events. Writing paused but was still very deep in my heart. I have always wanted to have my own business and financially succeed, so after all these years I have finally planted my foot back in the ground of poetry and… will not be uprooted.Winning Emotionally
