Synopsis

heatheRenee was born writing. 1975. south side of chicago. as a growing girl, the world outside her three-flat window gave this only child plenty to ponder. while a move to suburbia during her adolescence would prove to be a study in social contrasts, her attempts at creative writing felt uninspired. during her twenties, however, a life of academics gave way to the pursuit of real knowledge. this ever-evolving conciousness has been her salvation. as with all things univeral, BlackGirl: Reflections, Expressions, Confessions marks a return to heatheRenee's writing roots. building on the legacy left by fellow chicagoans Ida B. Wells-Barnett and Gwendolyn Brooks, heatheRenee's words are the perfect blend between old school soul, new school sensibility, and a militant mind. walk with this young mother, wife, teacher, and literary artist as she bravely and sincerely tackles life in a world of contradiction.
