Heroes
Emma Means - strong, disciplined, persistent, and at 57 is still growing; Margaret Woodard - forever genuine and true to herself with an infectious laugh
I write gateway novels for urban teens who hate reading - Premature Pleasures, Secret Shame, and Backseats and Bleachers: A High School Love Story. I'm currently working on Cover the Coo.
I am the raw, relevant, responsible voice in teen lit.
Who I'd like to meet: Maya Angelou - I want to thank her for showing me how a child with a raggedy past can be liberated from it, write about it, make money on it and make a difference with it.

I'm sorry that I'm just now replying to this, but yes we thought it was a noose and now some kids came forward and said they had made a rope swing and thats all it was. Its stirred up a lot of things here esp with all the national publicity but a lot of us still feel that the administration was trying to sweep that and other things under the rug but were forced to face the issues. This morning we had a silent march to the president's office and the location of the noose and they're makin a lil progress on figuring out ways for our campus to become more unified and diverse... we'll see how it goes.

Hey Ms.Alexus, How are you? have you finished cover the coo yet? Heyyy i didn't know u knew my bestie Elisa D, she is one of my besties. Well yea i dont go to the U of A either it didn't work out for me either. I am in florida but I am going to come back to AZ once I get my AA or maybe before its up to my mom. but our plan is to wait until after I get my AA
UofA was okay but I decided it wasn't really the place for me. I might go to school closer to home but I'm not sure yet. I have been just kind of going with the flow lately...it seems to be working so far, LOL! I will definately keep you informed on my literary goings on and hope to talk to you soon!!
Ahhh!! You're in good ol nap town huh? I was up there in November to see my granny. I'm supposed to come back this summer to see her, but I don't know if I'll be able to. When you come in town, I'd love to see you if you're free. Love to you tobth...
