I'm a spoken word artist and educator residing in Dayton, Ohio. My favorite part of working in schools is reading with elementary school children and teaching middle school students poetry in an after school club. Writing has been my passion since childhood. Sometimes I'd scribble in notebooks because I had nothing to say yet loved the pen moving in my hand. I still have fond memories of writing poems for or inspired by friend in High School.My poetry tells stories inspired by personal experiences and spirituality. My number one reason for writing is to move the reader, or listener, emotionally. I love creating an experience. My writing can be found on AP2Photography.com . I also have my first collection of poetry "Blackberry Wine Blues" on Amazon.com. I studied at Miami University of Ohio receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing. Is have attended open mics and featured in Columbus and Dayton, Ohio. A poetry collection I've edited is "The Love and Theory of Womanology" that can be found on Amazon.com.
