It felt power Where I come from, no one dreams of becoming an author. But I do remember what it felt like when I finished and read it. I think it was about a group of stray dogs trekking across the country to find a magic bone or something. My first attempt at writing a real story was in the fifth grade. I was raised in a single parent household by my mother, the lovely Miss Catherine Barnes, along with my big brother, Anthony, in Kansas City, MO. I wanted to be a football player, the next Sean Combs, or a rapper anything that would instantly provide me with the riches I would need to “move my mama off of the block”. ![]() ![]() Where I come from, no one dreams of becoming an author. ![]()
