Life Lived In Color is a collection of poetry that make up pieces of my life that projects a rainbow of inspiration, love, lust, motherhood, struggles of being a Black woman and my faith. Excluding parts of who I truly am in order to please the masses only left me disfigured, so I have decided to share with you all aspects of my work, hoping that you understand that life is lived in many colors and to deny them only left me with a gray void. There are many aspects of my life that are encompassed in one person. I tried to group them together so for those of you that would like to skip over the "juicy parts" you can. But to deny that there are many facets to me being who I am would be to not only lie to myself but also lie to my loyal readers who expect to read the uncompromising truth when they read my work. I am asking that you take a journey with me as we travel a road of a life lived in color. There are inspiration poems, love poems and poems that are just down right gritty. This is me. This is poetry and very reason that I have been chosen. I chose to live my life in color Please join me
