My art is words. To create a story that, through my experiences, pain, and joy, I can create characters that speak to the hearts of others.

Written expression has always been my passion. I love to play with words - to find different ways of bringing my imagination and lived experiences to life. I use my words instead of canvas to paint a picture. You can follow me at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61584352544687
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in everything. God, family, pain, loss, laughter, joy. My deepest regrets and my highest achievements. My biggest fears and my greatest hopes. My closest friends and my greatest enemies. I appreciate every one of them. Every single second of life is an opportunity waiting to be transformed into a masterpiece.
What would you do with $25,000?A portion of the money would go to investing in my book (Strawberry Shakes Trilogy Part 1: By Their Fruits by Lefty Lew. It would allow me to hire an editor and it would open up publishing options for me. The rest I would give back to my mom. She's been my rock my whole life and I would love nothing more than to give back to her.
