As my Writer Crush Series comes to a close this 30th of September 2018, I take a moment to pause and reflect on the priceless moments experienced during this journey. I have been so overwhelmed by the love and support of the Instagram Writing Community and fellow WordPress bloggers; that creating a platform where writers […]

LOVE & VODKA by Christina Strigas | Book Review
Couldn’t wait to partake in what she was serving. Extraordinary poetry. An air of mystery. Passion. Fortitude. Fire. Creativity. Transparency. Love. Lots of love. Love for life. Love for humanity. And more than anything a deep love for words. Christina Strigas has blessed more than my social media timelines. She has breathed life into them. […]
MEET AUTHOR Printed CED | #WriterCrushSeries
I’m a huge fan. There. I said it. And if you’ve not yet met her, you’ll understand why. Presenting to some and introducing to others, our Instagram Writing Community Resident Anomaly: Printed CED. Printed CED speaks… It’s so funny I feel like talking about myself is one my talents and one of my downfalls. I […]
MEET WRITER JOMO MOORE | #WriterCrushSeries
“Blessed day Queen…” Jomo aka @Morprophet is an integral part of our Instagram Writing Community. A gifted writer and long time supporter of @AuthenticiteeSpeaks, he was the first man to call me ‘Queen’ online. I couldn’t figure out why it sounded honest when he addressed me as such. Like hearing a hit song over and […]
MEET AUTHOR KINDRA AUSTIN | #WriterCrushSeries
I study the writers I choose to feature. It’s important to me to marinate in the pauses between their words. Words are powerful and those who are not afraid to stretch them beyond their original intent fascinate me. Kindra Austin is not afraid and she fascinates me. Previously unfamiliar with Kindra’s work, I couldn’t have […]
Meet UK Writer David Thomas | #WriterCrushSeries
He was recommended by previously featured wordsmith anomaly Ilona Gaspar. A woman I found so fascinating, I interviewed her on my former Inspiration With E radio show. So I readied myself to read the work of someone whose pen embodied great depth and I must say; David Thomas of Instagram’s Unsociable Dave, did not disappoint. […]
MEET AUTHOR JESSICA SAUNDERS | #WriterCrushSeries
“My name is Jessica Saunders, everything Libra, financial educator and author. I’m from Toronto, Ontario, and raised by women.” e speaks… And that’s when my world expanded into something even more beautiful. I began to scroll through Jessica’s Instagram timeline and found myself laced throughout her pieces. She encompasses power, ingenuity and all things woman. […]
thief | #poetry #metoo
thief i was aloof. thought love and lust were the same that passion and persistence insured mutual affection was paying him no mind he was a married big brother in the Faith but here he was in the church hallway telling me about the perfect discoloration of my lips in front of others the look […]
SIPS OF POETRY WITH KI | Book Review
When I’m into a book. It goes everywhere with me. I intentionally pace myself when arrested by strong lines and reading Sips of Poetry with KI was no different. Ki (pronounced Kai) considers herself an introvert whose voice speaks volumes through her pen. I came across her work as a fellow writer in Instagram’s writing […]
MEET POET DEVEREAUX FRAZIER: An Aspergian’s Chemical Romance
Super excited about this #WriterCrushWednesday featured poet! Unlike most of the writers featured I did not meet this poet via Instagram’s thriving Writing Community. I can’t really say how I learned of his work. I’m guessing the occasional “scroll, skip, skip, scroll” method of discovery served me well the moment I landed in his world […]
