At 13 exactly. I started writing in 2014.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Maya Angelou for sure, I have so much love and respect for this woman. My favorite genre to read is Literary.
My loved ones Inspire me in everything that I write, my African roots also for sure. It makes me so proud.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book is ” In Your Absence: Emerald Lover” We are the sum of experiences that we encounter as we go through life. Day-to-day struggles and triumphs are experienced by all the world’s creatures. As human beings, when we encounter a challenge, we have the freedom to choose how to react. Every decision that we make leads us down a different road. We will never come to exactly the same crossroads. Every decision that we make has significance. The tiniest choice that we make reverberates throughout the entire universe.
This book is inspired by my African roots, a culture which is so beautiful and rich. And again by my relationship with everyone around me, my loved ones.
