How My Writing Has Evolved Over the Years

I can still remember when the thought of writing filled me with dread. I was hesitant to put my opinions into words, afraid of how they might be received. For a long time, I held back. But as life has unfolded, I’ve grown bolder. My experiences have given me a stronger voice, one I no longer hesitate to use when asked. Over time, my vocabulary has expanded, and with it, my ability to connect with a wide range of audiences.

In the beginning, I wrote in the style of the crowd. I echoed what others said, blending in rather than standing out. But that has changed. Today, I write from the richness of my own perspective, rooted in the Southeastern United States, shaped by the African American community, influenced by postgraduate education, feminine enlightenment, and years of corporate experience. Each of these threads has woven together to form the unique voice I now share with pride.

I am who I am, and I write with authenticity. My words are no longer borrowed, they are my truth.
