My love for writing began as a child when I would write poems and short stories. I started freelance writing and blogging professionally in 2014 and served as a contributing writer for Bebe Michelle Naturals, MultiCultiGirl and, Mygirlsquad. After years of writing for other hair & beauty companies, I decided it was time to start my own blog!
When my daughter Tatiana was born, I found a way to marry my love for her with my love for writing. It was Tati’s beautiful spirit that inspired my very first children’s book—The Girl With The Magical Curls. It’s a story about a little girl who develops superhero-like, magical powers thanks to her naturally curly hair! She learns to love and accept her curls just the way they are! This story is about self-love, self-identity and self-care amongst women from all backgrounds!

For years I had been practicing meditation and positive affirmations, making vision boards and incorporating these rituals into my daily prayer practices. This changed as I had more time to spend at home with the transition of working remote, more time with family and working on several projects as a writer. When you start practicing particular exercises such as meditation, affirmations, vision boards and other healing incentive arts, you are strengthening your inner core. For those who are new to meditation, I would recommend downloading the Calm app (available through the App or Google Play store).
This excerpt is from my new children’s book, The Girl With The Magical Curls. The Girl With The Magical Curls is about a little girl named Tatiana who learns self-acceptance and self-love. According to statistics from that time, 10% of women feel proud of their curls and only 4 out of 10 curly-haired girls think their hair is beautiful. Perhaps the little girls reading my book will say, ‘finally there’s someone who I can relate to, and she has curly hair and is proud of it.’
