About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Georgia, United States

I am a Child of the Most High, Author, Poet, Playwright, Griotte and CEO of Revolutionary Disciples Media and Co-founder of Revolutionary Christian Ministries. I am mommy to the most anointed, precious and handsome little boy in the world, the baby God gave me out of my heart. After graduating from Davidson College, I taught drama at an alternative school, serving the needs of behaviorally challenged youth. I helped to establish Neighborhood Networks Computer Centers in culturally diverse areas in Boston, teaching regular computer classes, digital storytelling, and incorporating my love for poetry and drama into each center. The spiritual and educational needs of rural youth are very important to me. Author: Love Doesn’t Live Here Anymore (Christian Fiction) Images and Rhythms of Generations, 1 & 2 (Poetry) God Says the Struggle is Over (Children’s Lit Series) . Currently I am sitting on a couple of Gospel plays for future production. So any directors looking for a phenomenal new play to put on….get in touch with me.

a glass of regret





how do I love thee?
let me count the ways…
we are tethered to each other by long dried up tendrils of love
a love so transparent
even a fake god like buddha can pronounce it finished

we were never one
not one body
not one entitity
not one family
i never saw my love mirrored in your eyes
only some grotesque masquerading replica

speaking of mirrors
you had to have noticed that even your own reflection
doesn’t follow your lead any more
it has no confidence in you
because it understands
that you can not even love yourself

i am still shackled by these leathery bonds of pseudo love
when love itself has left the building
i sit alone
at a couples table
and raise my glass of regret
saying speak on brother z,
speak on
