She has known she was a poet since the age of four–it only took her learning the alphabet to string words together to make beautiful lyrical pieces. By the age of seven, she had gone to share her poems on her father’s TV show, making herself and her work known. She has since become an award-winning poet, performer, and playwright.

Now that UnCensored Ink is out in the world, I would like to ask you all to continue this kind support by simply buying it, reading it, talking about it. 50% of our revenue will be donated to the American Library Association, so part of your wallet will also contribute to their fight against book banning.
