I was born on July 23, 1971 in London, England to Jamaican born parents. I moved to New York City at the age of nine and have resided in Laurelton, Queens for twenty-one years.

Is stronger than a tornado or hurricane
They can cut through people or open hearts
WORDS, WORDS, WORDS
Be careful how you use them the power they behold can be to overwhelming to the average user
I want to have an positive effect on as many lives as possible and I know by writing books I will.....................
