Tell me something about yourself?
I am a poet, author, wife and mother of two. I was born and raised in the metropolitan Washington, DC area.

A Life Beyond Limits: Overcoming Private Pain was published by Xpress Yourself Publishing in June 2007 and consists of 80 pages. The cover and Interior Designed by The Writer’s Assistant.

A Life Beyond Limits: Overcoming Private Pain was dedicated to every teenager who feels that they are forgotten, misunderstood or mistake. A Life Beyond Limits: Overcoming Private Pain is filled with stories and poems based on my personal experiences and journeys.

What inspired you to write your book?
Inspired by my personal experiences presented in life

Do you have a specific target audience for your book?

My target audience is any person who has been through something that has been crippling them from moving forward because of something that was painful in their lives, whether it’s the past or present. I want them to know that they are not alone and that through the healing power of the Love of God they can overcome the pain. Also, I want to stress the fact that people who have been in an abusive situations especially women and teenagers.

In addition, I want to target parents who have children with autism, the pain and trauma they go through, I can relate I want to bring a message of healing to them on
how so many wonderful things can happen to them when having a child going through that.

How long have you been writing poetry?
I have been poetry since my early childhood.

Tell us something about your poetry.
My poetry cries out to those who feel as if they are alone in their struggles and attempts to give them feelings of hope and freedom.

How did you come up with your title?
The reason why I picked the title was to make clear that you can live life beyond the pain of your past and even your present, you can be victorious in spite of what you have endured. You can be whole in mind body and spirit through expecting that a relationship with God is the key to being healed from the inside out.

What are your future goals?
My future goals are to be a motivational speaker for inner city at risk youth, also teens who have been victims of incest and domestic violence, women and teens who suffer with eating disorders and low self images and teen suicide.
