Featured Interview With Ta’Mesha Smith
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Born and raised in Greenville, SC, I have been writing since a very young age. The love of words started with poetry and has evolved into a pure passion. At the age of 20 I moved to MN for some time where many of the poems in Drugs, Love, and Poetry was created. When I’m not writing I am spending time with my daughters and pursuing other hobbies and new business venture.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I’ve been writing since the age of 8. That is when I remember writing my first poem about the sirens of love. What? Something a little strange about me, I’ve never really been fascinated with books. If I am able to read a book it is probably going to be non-fiction or an essay. Ironically I used to read a great deal of self help books until you realize only you can answer those tough questions.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Maya Angelou has been my biggest inspiration as a writer and myself. I developed the skill from a very young age writing poetry so I was truly able to evolve with my own voice.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
To know yourself is important. Self reflection is a form of self therapy. Who better than yourself to share your secrets with?
Self-discovery can be an insightful and scary journey. Taking the time to learn more about ourselves can be fun if we open up a bit. But not for the entire world to see but for you to admire your true self. The true, genuine, unique self you see when you look in the mirror each day. We all have the power to be the highest form of ourselves.
All About Me is a thought and feeling provoking journal that makes you shed light on parts of your world and pieces of yourself that you never really thought about. Life happens fast and often times we don’t allow ourselves the proper time to process our true feelings and views on ourselves and the world, not only around us but inside as well.
With over 500 questions and journal prompts, All About Me inspires you to think about your feelings, dream about your goals, and put your future into perspective. What type of support can you give yourself that no one else can? What do you believe is your destiny? How can you learn to trust yourself more? Do you like being in the spotlight or behind the scenes? What does perfect mean to you? How do you feel when someone gives you advice you didn’t ask for?
It takes true courage to embark on a journey to knowing thy-self. All About Me is a guided journal to help you navigate your inner world and keep you focused along the way.
