Soul Scribe had a very unpleasant childhood that created an incredible fight within her for survival as the child of two drug-addicted parents. As a means of mental survival, she found herself scribbling her feelings onto paper as early as age 12. Writing has become a big part of her life, both in her passion and profession. Soul Scribe began sharing her poetry in front of small crowds in 1997 on the college campuses of Auburn University in Montgomery and Alabama State University.

The poetry Soul Scribe shares ranges from a variety of subjects, from love to hate, politics to spirituality, social consciousness to so much more, allowing her to encompass all areas of life. Her vocal strength is powerful at times and subtly soft at others, yet still captivating and soul stirring. One of her most memorable moments was receiving a letter from poet, activist and educator, Sonia Sanchez, encouraging her to continue writing no matter what. Her first album, “Hopeless Romantic,” released in 2011 is on iTunes and other music distribution sites. She releases her sophomore spoken word album, “Journey to Love,” on August 19, 2017.

 

Soul Scribe’s number one goal is to inspire others by letting them know they can make it out of some of the most impossible situations and to tap inside themselves and God for the inspiration they need to live freely and happily in all areas of their life. Soul Scribe credits the birth of her son for reminding her that life is a present and you must make each day count.
