Q&A

---

I always say that I want people to believe in me but there are times when I struggle to believe in myself. There is a scripture in the bible that says he gives perfect peace whose eyes are stayed on him. Those are the times when I pray more to get the peace to keep pushing my goals and dreams. And I work hard on my  blog and my Youtube shorts because I really like creating them. I just finished two blog posts to recognize black history month. But for me black history is 365. I've always loved not just black history where I am always looking to discover things I didn't know about but I also love all history. I really got into Ann Frank and the Holocaust more out of respect than anything. I feel that if I take the time to learn what a people suffered it is my way of giving respect to all they went through. 

I once wrote an interesting blog post where I compare people to houses. I also created a Youtube short about it. I am the house tucked away. Inside I sit for hours waiting to hear the voices of the people that I have lost. I know I can't but I still wait.  And while waiting I write and sometimes I cry but I always keep going. I truly stay to myself a lot. I know people that think they are my friends but I really don't have friends. I really don't have the time. I'm holding my family down and trying to keep balanced.  I'm starting fresh on things right now. Working on another Youtube channel and even working on a Tiktok channel.  So stay tuned. 

It is only when you get older that you see the true time wasters that have always played a big part in your life and now, I run from them. Toxic friends and toxic family.  Going places you really don't want to go just to please others. We forget who we really are because we have spent so much of our life trying to please others. Things like that. All time wasters.

 Certainly. These books were inspired by my own experiences of standing by my partner during his incarceration and the challenges we faced as a couple throughout that time and beyond. 

I wanted to provide a voice for the thousands of women just like me. Because we are also victims of the actions of incarcerated men. Our lives are also turned upside down when men go to prison. I am a former inmate wife and I share the before and the after. There is so much insight I have into this situation. I just want those affected by this to believe in me, with all my imperfections and know that I truly understand their plight. It was a painful journey for me because I went through so much during that time. His incarceration, sickness, death. Oh my God!  

I delve into the fear and uncertainty surrounding my husband's sentence.

This book is a roadmap for those couples that are now navigating life after incarceration. When I first stepped into this unknown territory, there was no handbook, no clear path forward. It was a daunting journey during and after his incarceration.

Yes, writing heals the soul. Writing has always been my solace, a way to transform adversity into something meaningful.

I have a trilogy that will be done and on Amazon in 2025. I was totally done with part one but then I saw that something very important to the story was missing. there was a person that needed to be in the story to make it better.  I did that with part 1 of Secrets. I keep editing even after it was published when I felt that there was something missing and the readers needed to know about. That is my weakness. I don't know how to stop. Maybe it is not a weakness but a strength. So I think I am done with Part 1 of my trilogy. Hopefully!.

This trilogy delves into the life of a young African American man who grows up in the tough streets of the hood. He grapples with the loss of his father at a young age, relying heavily on the support of his devoted mother and younger brother. It's a gripping coming-of-age narrative that navigates the protagonist's journey through the trials and tribulations of his environment, showcasing his resilience and determination in the face of adversity. And after that, I'll just keep on writing because it gives me peace and creates the distraction of all the stuff we all have to deal with because we live in this world.
