About The Author

I am a caribbean born author from the island of Trinidad and Tobago. I started to write four years ago after persuing two associate programs at a local community college in my country. The need to nurture a voice for myself drives my writing. This emerged as a solution to the closed individual lives that we are encouraged to live today. Creativity, imagination and confidence had to be embraced for me to go to my next level. Experience my work.
