I was a young girl who answered to a name you are not familiar with. It is a name I am proud of but not one meant for public consumption. At least not yet. I was quiet. My voice frightened me. I didn’t quite know how to use it. So I suppressed it and letContinue reading “An Ode to Reading”

It took me quite a bit of time to find my voice. My authentic self. IContinue reading “Book Review Time: The Secret Life Of Albert Entwistle”
