i’m a single mother whose mission li life is to affect the choices my young sisters and brothers are making. my main concern right now is my young brothers. my night job for the past 25 years as a medical lab tech pays the bills, but i’m a writer and teacher at heart. my first published novel, ‘choices: of the head / of the heart,’ has a message that needs to be heard. my second novel, ‘choices 2,’ says even more. my rap song, ‘kids just don’t understand,’ takes it to another level.
