I am a warrior, battling, kicking, scratching, and sometimes biting in an effort to stay out of the self-imposed box I feel is reserved for women my age.
I am a goddess remaining always vital and dignified, of course.
I am a teacher that wishes to let others know now those things she wishes she had known then.
I am a mentor to others, especially teens looking for direction in the arts and the ways of creation. I am the founder of Teen Writers and Artist Project, an non-profit corporation in Illinois that teaches and guides kids through their own creative maze.
I am my own creation.
