About Me

Welcome! My name is Vonae Deyshawn and I'm so happy you've stopped by the site. 

As a teen, I always envisioned myself working for some large magazine in New York 

City, trumping around the office in high heels and spending my days in editorial 

meetings devouring all things fashion. As life changed and I matured, I found myself 

heading down a different road, one not so exciting. It wasn't until a Saturday last

 Spring that it came to me. I could still write about the things I loved; only I wouldn't

 do it on the grand scale I'd always imagined. I would start with a dream, my love for 

writing, and one of my many journals to create something new, personal, and maybe 

even inspiring. 

As a young girl, I always loved writing my thoughts so I could go back and reflect on

 them. Of course back then my journals looked a lot different than they do today.

 (Winnie the Pooh vs. Embellished creations) Nothing was more fulfilling for me than

 to write a few diary entries and then share them with my best friends. Weird? I know.

 It was just something about seeing them laugh, gasp, or tear up after reading my 

inner-most thoughts that brought me great satisfaction.

I spent my time in college, writing many short stories and full length novels before

 graduating with a degree in Creative Writing. I dreamed of becoming a great 

Young Adult novelist and living a life indulging in the art of rhetoric, but instead 

found myself constricted by the art of teaching. While I truly love and still adore 

my students, I began to see my dreams of writing slowly slipping away. Really my 

dream of anything beyond those four classroom walls seemed to be a fleeting 

possibility. After two years, I decided it was my time to move on, recapture my dream,

 and make my husband, family, friends, and most importantly my students proud of me. 

So will you join me on this journey? I'm excited to see where it will take us.
