Synopsis

Growing up, I remember my Aunt Mona drinking coffee. It wasn't anything spectacular about her drinking coffee. What was magical to me as a child was that her coffee matched her skin tone perfectly. Whenever I saw her drinking coffee I would think, "Aunt Mona is drinking herself" The Color of My Aunt's Coffee. Sugar vs. Cream is a collection of poetry that matches my skin tone perfectly. I invite you to find your nearest cafe or melt into your favorite chair and enjoy a cup of me. You will enjoy the way I taste.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Tia DeShay, a Detroit Native, graduated from Cass Technical High School and earned her undergraduate degree in Secondary Education with a major in English Literature and a minor in History from Eastern Michigan University. She later obtained her Masters degree and Educational Specialist Certificate in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies from Wayne State University. For 10 years, Tia DeShay taught high school Literature, Journalism and Yearbook for the Detroit Public Schools. In November 2010, Tia DeShay resigned from the Detroit Public Schools and decided that her gift of writing was worth more than an occasional one night stand. She was willing to commit and marry the man of her dreams: Poetry. She has written two books of poetry: If I Only Had Five Minutes. The Last Will and Testament of a Hip Hop Poet and R.S.V.P. How a Detroit Girl Made Love's A - List. Tia DeShay has been a featured poet for Never Again Ministries of Phoenix, Arizona, 12th Street Missionary Baptist Church of Detroit, Michigan, and Family Victory Fellowship of Southfield, Michigan. "Poetry is a way of making sense of me and the space that I occupy. For me, poetry is a life style. Poetry is a way to tell the story of people who are disenfranchised and whose voice has been immobilized and censored by hopeless circumstances and failed relationships. My poetry is a complete thought in a world of fragments. My poetry is the voice of those we choose to ignore because we are so consumed with 'us' instead of 'we' In my poetry, my readers see themselves raw and unashamed. In my poetry, I Write Now so others can remember later"
