The language and rhythm of African people have been an obsession throughout my life. I can still vividly remember the heavy syrupy dialect that impregnated my ears as a small boy, the hypnotic rhythm-ming of the body movements of African people that continue to sang to me, and the depth of the wellsprings silently stirring inside the language forged in the North American experience of African people. By means of my tonal drawings, I am trying to actualize this experience-ing for the benefit of us all. I am Asili Ya Nadhiri, born on August 29, 1944 in Durham, North Carolina and raised in a small tobacco town named Clinton, North Carolina. My undergraduate education took place at Hampton Institute and Ithaca College, Masters at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, and ABD (all but dissertation) at the University of Florida in Gainesville. I have been an instructor of vocational agriculture and social studies in the Orange County Public School System (Orlando, Florida) for the past thirty-two years.

Well I'm not your average lady, I'm crazy fun but very focused. I'm very spontaneous but responsible. I'm pretty weird but normal, I adapt easily I'm a peoples person.I love people but get easily annoyed by some. I'm confusing but an open book. Life has always been a crazy drive, it wasn't always sunny days and roses but I learn to accept, adapt and move on. I'm the friend that has seen some crazy things in life don't speak about experienced it too, but you'll never say unless you read this or I tell you. I feel like I'm always being tested so I try to just live life to the fullest. There is so much that could be written down here but I wouldn't want to freak you out.
My name is Danielle, I'm 17 and I live in New York, more specifically: on Long Island. I've been writing since I was about 11. It's always been my passion. Back then I used to write short stories, but now I'm more interested in writing poetry. I find it an easy way to express my emotions. I dealt with a lot growing up from living with a broken family, divorced parents, being bullied from kids in school, being emotionally and mentally abused by my parents as well as my siblings. I've developed depression in 7th grade, and anxiety and it lead to an eating disorder. I also just recently got out of an abusive relationship. Everything that I have been through you will see in my writing. I have a lot of emotions and thoughts that circle through my head, and poetry helps me organize them. I hope you read and enjoy my writing.

It all started on December 4th 14 years ago. I have a huge family and wouldn't trade them for anything. I play three sports and always have, my family is really into athletics. I was born with many talents, and I'd like to say poetry is one of my favorites. My poetry has always been romance, family or life related. To me, those are what I feel most strongly about and that's why I can truly write about those few subjects.

I come from a place of brokenness, abuse and complete abandonment, however with God's grace I found a place of rescue and healing. My daughter has become an instrument where I can express to her all the love I have bottled up inside for so many years and having been to afraid to love for so long with the fear of being hurt. I Have found a treasure that I can keep, a gem that rewards me with unending beauty and pleasure. She is the light in the dark my refuge and my sanity. God's Majesty shines out of her in the way she cares, shares, holds and speaks. I will share with you how I have come to overcome and how my faith has kept me in this place of warmth and growth.

My name is Jessica Norton. I am only 13 years old. I am in middle school (which is a very hard time socially) which gives me a lot to write about. I plan on skipping high school and going straight to college. I live in a very wealthy area where the people think that if you do not have a mansion and an iPhone, you are poor. This also gives me ideas for my writing. Please read my work and tell me what you think, I want my work to be the best it can be. Thank you.
