Queen P is passionate about writing poetry because it is a liberating experience. Furthermore, she purposely writes verses to persuade her audience to think about where they are in life today, reflect on days gone by, realize how much they have grown over time, and recognize the importance of self-awareness and true happiness. Moreover, Queen P reminds us through her work that her journey has taken her to countless places not only in the physical sense but also in a spiritual and emotional odyssey. During her trek, she has mastered the skilled significance of being “still”, listening and observation, and now she is excited about whatever adventures are in store. The Journey Continues!

A statement from Queen P:

​

"I was asked to write and read the poem Mother and Daughter in the summer of 2019 for a special event for young black girls that were being mentored and trained to become active workers with building up their communities. I felt that I had a responsibility (being a mother of two daughters) to share my memories of my daughters, and spread words of wisdom and encouragement through my poetry. My hope was that the words would resonate with the young ladies as well as their mothers. There’s no greater bond than that of a mother and her daughter."
