In college, I loved the Creative Writing and Literature electives offered. Later, in Manhattan, I found myself with an exciting business career, and yet I wrote. I also met countless people of various ethnicities, backgrounds, and cultures.
Due to its multi-ethnic diversity, New York is sometimes referred to as the ‘Melting Pot.’ Noticing the beauty that often radiated from those that I met, I became grateful for the excitement and experiences that city provided. Although I submitted articles, and wrote for newsletters, yet I longed to become an independent writer. Since at the time I could not, some evenings I tutored middle and high school students, those with reading and writing issues. Through the years, I also volunteered in a community based program, one that equipped young people with the skills needed to attain gainful employment. With those young people I shared my love of all things written, and many blossomed.
Then one day I was offered the chance to publish a novel, the first in a trilogy that I’d authored. I was ecstatic! Now days I write about sultry, savvy, multi-cultural women whose beauty might be considered non-traditional. I write about women whose beauty may be subtle, or it may be a lovely light from within. Therefore, for me, the opportunity, to work as the Ethnic Beauty Editor is so very sweet! I look forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions. I look forward to the interaction that I will most assuredly have, with you, the ethnic beauties of the world.
