Day two of the #authorchallenge is to ask a question for a deceased author. Although there are many authors that come to mind, Maya Angelou is my favorite author and the one I would love to have a Q & A session with if I could.
My question for Dr. Angelou is extensive and would be how would she want to be portrayed in a movie about her life in today’s world and who would she want to play her in the movie? Would she include the usual known facts such as the sexual assault she encountered which caused her to become mute, or her talk with Mandella in Ghana when she visited her son and her time with Billie Holiday (5-day stay)? Or would she tell of things she kept to herself and away from the world? Or perhaps both?

I was born in Tucson, Arizona, the baby of six children. I remember sounding out and spelling big words before the second grade. Words have always fascinated me. I began writing poetry as a child. I have very few accolades but nevertheless, I am proud of my writing and of them. I had one published poem when I was eight years old in the Phoenix Gazette, one published in 2003 in a poetry theology and I won a trophy and Poetry.com's (LuLu's now) 2005 Poet of the year. I have composed 100s of pieces of poetry growing up, most of which were lost. The poetry I am compiling now was written in my adult life.
I write as a way to free my mind and attempt to stir emotion and thought in others. Although I am devoting all my time now to writing now, I'm an orthopedic nurse (LPN) by trade, the owner of a small crochet business and I aspire to be a makeup artist.
I began this site as a launch to my upcoming books My Poetic Life (memoirs of love) and Fibromyalgia: Behind the Walls of Silence but it has taken on a life of its own. I hope those who come across my page will enjoy reading everything I speak on in my blogs and poetry. My hope is to reach the hearts of readers to inspire, shed light, advise, and spread love.
