About Me

Hola! I go by Nahd which is short for Nadra Zahara = "unusual flower" in Kiswahili. For a time I was engaged in the process of trying to find myself. That is, until I realized that 'the process of trying to find myself' was futile because I am who I have always been. So now instead of searching, I am celebrating! Peace

Blessings sis!

Please forgive me for responding so late. I have been away from my page and am just now checking messages. Let's talk offline if that is OK with you about the self publishing process. My e-mail addy is deannalynette5503@yahoo.com or you can call me at 706-577-8823 (Verizon). I'm so glad to hear that you are writing and that the spirit of creativity is alive and well within you. I look forward to connecting soon! Continue to press...

Be the blessing,

Book Club

I am a part of a book club, too. It is called Ankobia Sister Circle. At the moment, we are reading Iyanla's book called Value in The Valley. I bought that book when I was in high school (about 14 years ago) and for some reason spirit led me to introduce to my book club. It is a great read. Well, my school doesn't have a website at the moment but I will e-mail you different flyers of the events we have. We have a monthly theme in which the children research the topic and create a project based on the theme. This month's theme is African Women's History Month. Talk with you soon.

Love, Life and Liberation

Peace Goddess!

Many thanks for stopping by my little space. You look striking and beautiful with the short cut. Be sure to post up pics of your crown as you grow it out. I've been growing out my hair from the short cut in my avatar. It look quite different now. I should update that soon. lol

Again, thank you for passing my way and leaving the positive energy.

Bless!

Many thanks

Thank you so much sister! You know, I wouldn't be surprised if I saw you a few times on campus. I was at FAM from 2000-04; I was in the School of Journalism and Graphic Communications and was involved with the FAMUAN as a writer and editor; it truly is a small world! Let me know if you need any help with your book. I self-published my book and am now stepping into publishing other's books. I am here whenever the time arises for you to need me!
