WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR WHY, YOUR WHAT BECOMES MORE IMPACTFUL BECAUSE YOU'RE WALKING TOWARD OR IN YOUR PURPOSE. ~Comedian Michael Jr.
TEEN WRITERS ARE OUR WHY
Although I started writing when I was nine-years old, I was in my 30s before my dreams to become a writer were actualized because until then, I didn't know how to become a writer. In school, I was steered toward becoming a teacher, nurse, secretary or housewife, neither of which interested me at the time. I've always imagined that if I had someone to show me how and tell me what and guide me where, I would have been walking in or toward my purpose sooner.
As an adult writer with a thriving career as a writer, then a teacher, I am fueled by a spark to kick-start the writing careers of as many teens as I can. I vowed that, if I can help it, no other teen will want to become a writer and not know how to get there and stay there. The #TeenWritersProject is my promise to provide space for teens around the world to channel their vulnerabilities and tell real stories that matter to them, their world and the entire world.
