In My Own Mind

<p>C. Ann Nicole was born on the beautiful Caribbean Island of Trinidad & Tobago in the city of San Fernando to two amazing parents Fitz & Merceda. Her dad worked in an oil refinery company and her mom was an RN until they decided to move to NYC for better opportunities when she was three years old.</p><p>Her life's journey started at 10 years old when her mom enrolled her in dance classes at a studio in Queens...Gloria Jackson Dance Studio. She loved dancing and it became her life! Cheryl the name her family called her danced throughout high school entered talent shows with friends dance recitals and even her adult years... praise dancing in churches.</p><p>And then somewhere within those amazing years she found her voice! A voice that compelled a new journey! A voice that stemmed from the devastation she felt from her parent's divorce; and at 15 years old her sad hurt angry and confused emotions sought guidance & direction which led her to write it all down.</p><p>All those emotions that flooded her heart turned into a tale of truth that told a story; and from that story on was the onset to continue to express and write from her heart's experiences & life's events... poems of Strength Courage Truth & Love.</p>
