“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 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 […]
THE DAY GOD CALLED MY BARREN WOMB TO PREACH • #SentimentalSaturday
“Before I created you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I set you apart.” – Jeremiah 1:5 CEB I couldn’t find that journal entry even if I tried. I intentionally destroyed many journals several years ago because I didn’t realize how intensely personal they were until I stumbled across them […]
MEET IG POET @blackdollars.ca! #WRITERCRUSHSERIES
I’m known for giving nicknames and his is “Toronto King“. Well deserved I might add. As mentioned before, some of the poets in this series asked to be featured while others were extended an invitation. Dela, a gentleman who is passionate about protecting my poetic voice was immediately supportive of my vision. See, my connection […]
#WRITERCRUSHWEDNESDAY! MEET IG POET @pensandpavement
As one who bores very easily, I love a challenge. I love…different. Ramel Steede is just that and his pen does more than sustain my interest. As a matter of fact if we listen closely, we can hear his heart. One of my favorite pieces: And then there was our first dance… In his own […]
HONORED TO BE FEATURED!
FEATURED IN A BOOK! My first time. Humbled to have been selected as a featured writer in Feminine Collective’s 2017 published body of work! Wait there’s more. I just learned that 15% of the proceeds goes to @lifeafterproject; an organization who shares my burden for #SuicidePrevention!! I get to hold a tangible copy of my […]
#WRITERCRUSHWEDNESDAY! MEET IG POET @joejam69
Old school meets new train of thought. Yeah. Yeah that’s how I would describe our featured poet of this week. Joseph introduced himself as a music producer who was new to poetry but I would beg to differ. In reading his work, I discovered there was wisdom laced with risk that came from the heart. […]
#WRITERCRUSHWEDNESDAY! MEET IG POET @abhoppes
Today is her day to shine! I really believe that Amanda is one of God’s earth angels assigned to my Instagram feed. I know that she writes about it all but every single time I see a post of hers, it’s upbeat and super positive! Here’s one of my favorites! In Her Words… Writing has […]
#WRITERCRUSHWEDNESDAY! MEET IG POET @junoswisdom
By far one of the strongest and kindest women on my Instagram CyberSquad she first caught my eye with this post: “Yessss my Sista! Yesss!”, I remember thinking. I felt like her post had described what I’d like to think about myself to a tee! Ah but there was more! An American born writer and consultant […]
