Charron Monaye's gift of poetry and love for addressing social issues was first witnessed when she appeared on the United Negro College Fund Telethon, at the age of 12, reciting her award-winning poem ALONE. Since then, she always relied on her pencil and notebook as a way of releasing her happiest moments, deepest secrets, and hidden desires without having to be judged or looked upon as being different among family and friends. Her diary entries soon became poetic pieces that she later performed or entered into local poetry contest. She has blessed many mics, touched many hearts, and made people realize poetry is more than words in rhythmic stanzas; it is a mere expression of one's life, emotions, and experiences. Everyone who has heard her speak can relate to her need for love, her struggle, and the pain she has felt, endured and overcome.
