Poems from the Soul is about the deepest parts of ones being. It is a cry for help and human understanding. It is about connecting with God, who is our Creator and Preserver. God is always on our side. I had to say this every day and all day to overcome the many obstacles put in my way. I had to jump over hurdles that seemed insurmountable. My faith in God grew as I tried to dodge the fiery darts of evil as they tried to pierce me every day and every night. I had to depend on God for my survival, and I had to pray more than I ever did before. Writing these poems has helped me to become stronger and more secure in my faith in my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

It is about life as we experience multiculturalism in the melting pot of New York. It describes the flavor of words and beats as they occur on a daily basis in the metropolitan areas of the cities. Im Worth It is about the different ways that people express themselves on a daily basis. It shows the essence of living by lining up passion with poetry. It shows us that we are one in the spirit and that we can learn from each other in spite of our different ways of living, caring, and sharing. The book celebrates cultures as being at the center of everything that we do.
