Vallejo, CA Poet Laureate. I often have a camera in one hand and a pen in another. I love writing across genres and find poetry in light and shadows. I love drawing and dogs, and I hope my creativity can flow as freely as my desire for human kindness.

The noise
around me
lessens through
my words,
through my art.

When I escape
Breathe
I return
Stronger.

I am grateful
for the poetry
that fills my mind
Flows from my fingers
and paints pictures
inside my heart.

I Can't Breathe

We walk
With our lungs
On high alert,
Watching
To see who else
Gets choked by
The system
That pretends
We are free.
Yet different
Shades
Continue to
experience
the same
Suffocation.

Two of my poems were selected for Shattered Reflections, an honor I am still soaking in. My copy arrived and with it, a reminder that words matter. Thank you, 300 South Media Group, NY.

Who else, like me, finds ideas for poetry or full poems popping in their head in the middle of night? I'm constantly writing in the dark or jotting ideas into the notepad on my phone.

Her dreadlocks flow
free and untamed,
a crown
grown from storm
and sun, and the history
living inside each loc.
Regal in her walk
like a lioness
glowing
beneath the pride
of the ancestors.
She is beauty.
She is her blackness.
She is strength.

I do what I can for people because I wish I had somebody like me in my life.
