"I believe art Heals."

I am a published traveling poet with a broad Ray of causes at heart. Have formerly been a foster child myself, I now house a deep-ridden passion for:

• World Peace

• Youth in Foster Care

• Child Abuse

• Sexual Abuse/Assult

• Freedom of Speech

• Freedom of Self Expression

• Gender Equality

• Woman's Rights

• Racial Injustice

• Political Descrinination

• Humanity at Large

• Animal Rights

• Religious Freedom

Everywhere I look, I see people turning their nose up at One another shunning and talking badly of one another because of the sins commited in todays time. But what have you done lately to make a change? Have you said a prayer? Have you held a hand, or wiped a tear? What happended to passion and compassion? It's time to make a change! The future is within the hope of the youth. We as a nation must present ourselves better so that we may be the example of what tomorrow and today should look like. If we fail to set positive examples for the youth, then where does that leave or lead the future?

John 15:12

This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

1 Peter 3:9

Not returning evil for evil, or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing.

The Bible states that if you spread the love and light of God that we shall be blessed accordingly, and live abundantly. God gave me a vision of savior and hope. Because of this, I am reaching the youth through, Motovational speaking, Mentoring, Creative Work shops, Poetry, and coaching!

God has called me to be a leader of tomorrow. If there are youth ineed of a mentor, or a youth facility in need of a motovational speaker, or poet.. I am the one to call. Love is the way!
