Rashieka Sims discovered at an early age that she had a passion for writing and a comedic sense of humor. She initially started her journey as an author by writing poetry but stopped writing when a junior high computer class sparked her interest in computer programming. After graduating from Mississippi State University with a B.B.A in Business Information Systems, she decided to go back to writing and combine her love of writing and her comedic storytelling ability into Things We Did for Love.
