I am a creator blessed by God. I am a survivor of parent drug addiction. I am a warrior against statistics. I am a loving mother and wife. I am a helper to the unheard. I am a poet, and my life is my poetry. I graduated in December 2009 with my Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts. With this degree I've studied creative writing, studio art, and nonprofit professional studies. But I've always had a passion for Hip Hop music and emceeing. I am founding Roni Poet's Ancient Arts Academy which will be a nonprofit arts center and residential school for "at-risk" children, especially those in foster care with a focus on Afrikan-centered education, student-tailored programming, hands-on arts-based focus, life skills, entrepreneurship, technological innovation, community service, higher education, mentorship, Earth stewardship, and healthy living. I am currently pursuing a M.Ed. in Instructional Design degree from the Western Governors University. I am a member of the Council of Independent Black Institutions. God speaks to me through many mediums - poetry, visual art, music, creative writing, and performance art. I strive to keep the message pure. I am a community teacher and youth worker. The classes/services available are grant writing, furndraising art, poetry, writing and reading, college prep and scholarships, and Self-Esteem after Foster Care®.
