Hello, I am a 48-year-old Libra, born and raised in St. Louis City, the oldest of 5. My mother now deceased name was Icey Lewis, a strong women who taught what she believed at the time was what we needed to survive. My father was a product of the street, inconsistent, and never really around. My first appearance in the streets was to alleviate some of the burden that I witnessed my mother going through, raising 5 kids. Every day the streets took a little piece of me, thus never returning me home the same. Survival often requires u to turn one thing loose in order to hold another. Gangs became my family when my own didn't approve of the kid that was now standing on their front porch. Although my new family would never appreciate the family orientation that I represented, they'd only exploit and use it! Til I once again had to alter it in the name of survival. My life has come full circle and thanks to many people like Ginger Diebel, Ella Bridge and my daughter Roneshia I've found God, and a new way. My days are more peaceful and my heart not heavy!

I believe in his way of life and not mans. I love writing cause it allows me to filter my feelings on paper and not bottle them up! So that to is a blessing from Mrs Bridge who encouraged me to write it all! I wrote a book that will be published soon!

I have very little family as described by most! but I have God and the family that comes with that, and that has been fulfilling.

I would most definitely love to write those on the outside!
