See you in Nola! We're celebrating the Essence Festival 25th anniversary four

What will readers get out of your book?
The
Setup Book is a mixture of romance and suspense dealing with death and murder
in a world where teens, adolescents and women are facing bullying, domestic
violence, and depression. The call for
women empowerment and a call for ending domestic violence and sex trafficking
continues to echoes. The Setup Novel will help lend a hand to its voice. It is a must read for adolescents and adults
alike.
What inspired you when writing The Setup?
I am inspired on positive conscious energies
within the human experience who successfully acquired the state of stillness
and tranquillity. These individuals
possess the courage to continue to seek knowledge and determination to find
wisdom and happiness wholeheartedly. I am motivated by others who find creative
ways to research and apply their found discoveries in their daily lives. In my
opinion, it is the true meaning of quintessential living. I was inspired to document my process of
discoveries through walking down memory lane in a unorthodox series of events
which took place some based on inspired actual events and majority
imaginatively.
When did you decide to become a writer?
I
knew I was interested in writing as a teen.
I had a love to vividly paint stories through words by poetry. I received positive support from peers and
family to continue capturing my writing through journaling which spilled over
into college and into my young adult life.
I was sought after to assist in many capacity in contributing in the
development of Tillie Hogans, God's miracles in my life book project while in
college as a junior in college at Florida A&M University. This experience
cultivated the desire to write someday in the future.
When writing The Setup did
anything stand out as particularly challenging?
The
Setup story plot was particularly challenging due to deciding on the inclusion
of my rants and collection of poems throughout the book.
How did you come up with the concepts and ideas in The Setup?
My concepts
and ideas in the Setup all was intentionally written to capture the attention
of the creatives, thinkers, knowledge seekers, and the individual who are
facing a crossroad of some sort regarding their next move. The courage led to stepping outside of the
box that is currently structure for most.
My goal was to create my own approach of Life journey through the
realness of vulnerabilities most of us are faced with on coping with traumatic
experiences.
What do you like to do when not writing?
I like to be a
change agent philanthropist. I founded a
501c3 nonprofit called Excellence Dance Studio, Inc. In 2006. It is a pillar
for disadvantaged youths in inner cities of poverty stricken areas providing
free performing arts, character development mentoring and life skills for the
community at large.
