I'm a Dreamer who has been writing since middle school. Writing proves to help me navigate my emotions as I journey through life.
Even so, at several points in my childhood I felt like giving up on life. I felt I had no future worth waiting for. A month after high school I attempted suicide. But God intervened and brought me through that dark time and began to reveal to me that there was a purpose for my life.
Since then I have been able to experience many blessings beyond my imagination:
1996 Graduate of Bethun-Cookman University (BA Speech/Mass Comm)

2000 July - Married the woman of my dreams (Ijnanya Shipman-Weaver)
