Do you enjoy your job?

To me, none of the above are any less important than the other. While writing helps me express myself, my opinion on what’s happening in the world, my wonder about life, my frustrations on injustices, and much more, might seem to some of greater importance than being a mother, daughter, wife, cook, and friend to all. Yes, there’s a balancing act that needs to be placed so that none are priorotized above family needs. For me, my family is my rock that supports and encourages me to write without fear. The latter took time to become innate, but I believe it’s there now.

So, to answer the question, yes, I enjoy all my jobs, although some are more draining than others, but each is special to me.

Share five things you’re good at.

I’m great at helping others in the fields. I feel I have a certain expertise, like listening to others’ likes and implementing them, especially if it has to with cooking or baking. The latter is, at times, a therapeutic form of stress relief, where I get to chop things and bludgeon the dough into submission 😀. I’m generally a great listener, except when someone is stubbornly narrow-minded, then i prefer not to converse or listen to them.

As an MA holder in English Literature, I l9ve to read, the more varied the better. I also write opinions, editing of thesis, poetry, and judging different types of books: novels, anthologies, and poetry. When it comes to my writing, I know I’m verbose, visual, and descriptive, which help when I feel stuck while I write. I like taking a detour in my writing before completing my original ideas.

As a daughter, wife, and mother, I love nurturing those I believe are mine! They all enjoy their food more when I make it, even if it’s a lowly sandwich 🥪 😋!

I’m an excellent helper to those who ask for it, or not, as I insert my services without being asked. That can lead to problems with some people, apparently! But, I don’t know why!

My poetry book, Perfectly Flawed poetry for change, raises a variety of themes that are humane in nature: relationships, postcolonial/ social criticism, self-awareness/ growth.
