Bio
I am a native Chicagoan, a graduate of DePaul University and Harold Washington College, and also a product of the Chicago Public School system (CVS). I am continually inspired by the people I meet.
Life is a journey with many snares and pitfalls, however we are equipped to handle any adversities through prayer, belief and determination.
Once we learn to love, forgive, and trust each other, most of our turmoil will cease.
I am honored to be a 2022 Distinguished Authors Guild Award receipient.
