My journey officially began at age thirteen in Cleveland, OH. I had suddenly began writing poetry in my notebooks in my bedroom. I was feeling, thinking and going through so much before, and after, that I wasn’t conscious of what I was doing. That led to me being solid on my future career. I originally did not see myself as a writer, but it is a gift I am maturing each day. Photography had not been considered an addition until my final year of high school. Realizing how fun it is and how much I could incorporate that into what I write, the more confident I became in my decision. My fascination for books had launched as well. I hadn’t fully realized my attraction towards books or writing until I was a senior in high school. That’s when a lot of the things I was wasn’t too sure about began to solidify. Though Pen & Camera went through many growing pains since 2015, so did I. I haven’t had many positive voices in my ear. I wish to be that voice for someone else. We can all heal, grow and be better for ourselves and each other.
