Caribbean-American writer of poetry, flash fiction, and essays. Mother. Human. Nothing extraordinary. Never started a trend, fashion or otherwise (certainly not anything for which I have been credited). Remember: C'è un po' di magia in ognuno di noi.

Today’s poem speaks of gratitude for our connection with trees and nature. Also, a little experiment with a video reading.
