Since a young age, I’ve been in love with performing and writing. I would often create a spectacular moment of acting with my friends at school and church. Their encouragement led me to dream about studying and paying close attention to the art of performing and writing. What an incredible sensation it was to produce my first live stage performance, entitled “A Passion For Justice.” A songwriter/lyricist and literary and film writer, I released my first 300-page NAACP endorsed novel, ‘A Bird In Flight’ in July 2007. My latest non-fiction book, “Living Beyond Nightfall” is one of my finest work. In life, as in my books, I participate in my destiny with confidence, faith, prayers, and hope. I am a single mother of four talented sons, and a business entrepreneur and Chief Executive for my company, Hy’Tara Entertainment. My latest phenomenon, “Love Me In Pieces” day viewed in Monroe, LA. getting rave reviews.
