My mom died when I was 11 and then my dad died when I was 15 and it was after both of their deaths I became the person I should have always been. My mother was a Jamacian immigrant and my dad was a former NFL player turned motivational speaker who grew up very poor.… Read More @thewittygirl: What’s a defining moment in your life?

All my life I have wanted to be a writer. I wrote my first short story at the age of 10 and I was published for the first time at 15.
