I was born in South Carolina to Queenie and Donald Norwood. I was later adopted by my stepfather Jerome, whom I admired for his gift and talent in poetry. I began to write poetry at the age of nine after taking interest in the Holy Quran. I began acting and singing a few years before turning nine. Now I have produced my first book that I have long awaited for. I thank God for my lady Renee and my three daughters-Jessica, Nijah and Jaida. I thank my mother for her love and support my whole life through.
