I am Valencia Barnes and it's very nice to meet you. Born a statistic, I am now an over achiever. I love writing and expressing myself in the form of poetry, short stories, journals and quotes. Writing is a way of life for me. It's my release. It takes me away from the everyday hustle and bustle of the struggle. As a proud single mother of 3, I raised my kids solely on my words. Stories and poetry that was written by me. As they enjoyed it, I'm sure that everyone who reads any of my work will enjoy it.
