I died as soon as I was born. I wasn’t supposed to live, having fallen out of the womb too soon. With the aid of injections, within two weeks the doctors performed three months worth of developing my heart and lungs. My heart is now a large hotel without vacancies. When a room does open up, it takes years to fill. Modern medicine really is a miracle.

I’m given a middle name after a voodoo lady in New Orleans. Today, I make necklaces using her reciepies for love, protection, health and luck.

I am a recent graduate of Oklahoma State University with a B.A. in English with an emphasis on creative writing. I had the honor of studying under one of the greatest poets of my time, Ai. Her teachings gave me a much needed kick in the ass and a credible body of work I could latch on to.

I have been published in anthologies such as The Poet’s Place (Outskirts Press), and journals such as Papyrus (Oklahoma State University Press) and Cram (funded by chicagopoetry.com), as well as the recipient of various poetry awards and scholarships from Northern Oklahoma College.

I currently reside in Tulsa, OK, though I consider Chicago my home. I’ve made friends across the country, but the bright lights of the frozen skyline always remind me where I belong.

I’m a story teller, and I never run out of stories because I’m constantly living them. My cast of characters will slay you. I am a freelance muse. Stay tuned.
