I write poetry because it's therapeutic for me to be able to write without barriers. I grew up in Watts so being emotional wasn't really an option, until I found spoken word. I aspire to become a forensic psychologist or prison psychiatrist so I know there's at least one person working in Criminal Justice for more than just the money. I hope that whoever my poetry reaches, that it simply lets you know that you aren't alone. I will be attending Cal State Monterey Bay beginning in the Fall of 2020.
