LookToSeeMe

Look to see the beauty and love in the people often marginalized in your community. Hear their stories. Make an affirming choice to bring hope and healing to all you meet along your journey. My poetry and fiction is honest and raw…opens doors to new conversations…and is from an author who has been a listener to many people’s voices. I invite readers into my conversations on healing, on change, on hope, on courage, on determination, on love, and on self-discovery. I share my voice with others as I give you glimpses into the journey I have traveled on—a journey that has taken me through grief as I led the funeral for a relative who died from complications from AIDS, through pain as I struggled to free myself from domestic abuse, and through joy as I raised two courageous children who found their own voices. I write to turn truths into poetry and fiction…to embrace diversity and capture the beauty and complexity of the people around me…to share the voice of the people we often fail to hear…to declare that all people deserve to have their story told. I help people learn how to write their own stories in their own voice. I give glimpses of my story and the stories of others I have met along my journey.
