Profile Information
- Personal Bio:
- I love reading, writing and anything literary. Some of my writings, while amateurish, are in the form of narrative poetry, biographical sketches, critiques, short stories, plays and expository writings...
I am currently employed as an Educational Consultant and with, "At Promise Youth" as well as those from an affluent community. There is indeed a correlation between the two groups. Both have needs, while their strategies are oftentimes different about getting them met. To this end, there are equally significant degrees of shared vulnerabilities. It is my aim to work to help emancipate the masses through literacy and empowerment from within and not from without. There does indeed appear to be a paradigm-shift of how young people today view their world and its realities on a social-level, in retrospect to their predecessors. We as elders and mentors are able to serve as catalysts in shaping and nurturing this vision to fruition.
I currently hold a B.A. in English, with an emphasis in poetry and urban life. In addition, I received a M.A. degree in Rehabilitative Counseling and I received an additional Master's degree in Educational Leadership and Organizational Management during October of 2009. My greatest achievement is the knowledge, wisdom and insight received during devout poverty and the blessings from an omnipotent God whom has kept me and brought me to a point of patience and understanding. I then must submit that today my greatest accolade is that of being a 'student of life'.
- Do you have any published books:
- Currently, I have not published any books yet but I have had success with a few pieces of minor works that were widely-accepted and published. My aspirations are to learn all that I can, touch the lives of as many as I can through fellowship and to publish nationally as well as abroad; God's will...

" Life is indeed like a box of chocolates...."
Let us a people of distinction boldly continue to press onward to the unmolested, high-calling set before us. Let us gird up our loins as eagles and be courageous and know that the biggest foe is the one from within! Let us accomplish the inalienable victory through the self-evident knowledge of ones' self, mutual respect and humility, through Godly love and through charity of the Spirit.
