Owner, author, and CFO for Picture Perfect Verses, LLC. So, how did I get here? In 1996, I discovered through astounding consequences that writing offered me a mind-blowing freedom I’d never known before. A growing appreciation for self-education soon followed. My early writing influences included Dr. Ida B. Wells, Kahlil Gibran, Nikki Giovanni, Mr. W.E.B.  Du Bois, Zora Neale Hurston, Robert Frost, Maya Angelou, and Alex Haley. 

I esteemed the greatness in each of these writers for various reasons, but their works literally gave me the confidence to write my story, in order to re-write my story. By 2013, Picture Perfect Verses was established for the purpose of unifying talented individuals to achieve a common goal: to see writers’ artistry shared, and to see readers challenged, motivated, amused, and changed.  

Working as a seasonal tax preparer for Jackson Hewitt since 2015 has also honed in me the knowledge of tax laws and meeting compliance, as well as the value of being detailed and efficient. In the remarkable area of publishing, our passion for creating various forms of artistic expressions is executed through a team-building chemistry and a standard for high quality. I’m privileged and blessed to stand alongside some incredible and creative minds!
