As a 20 Year old college student I went through a period in which I was trying to find my voice. However, once I found it I realized how much of a positive difference I could make by simply being vocal about my feelings and ideas. I've been reciting poetry ever since the age of 13 and have been blessed to speak in numerous states and this past year I was blessed to be able to speak at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC.
