About the Author

Krishawna Crum is a student of life. A graduate of the University of Mississippi, and a Holly Springs, Mississippi native challenges herself every day to learn something new. She is an avid reader and listener of a wide range of topics that include but are not limited to politics, Black history, American history, health and wellness, comedy, psychology, spiritual, and animal studies.

Her love of writing was born out of a need to express her emotions following the death of her father when she was only eight years old. She soon discovered she could transform her overwhelming grief into words. She has carried that valuable lesson with her throughout her life and now writes poetry to bring peace to a chaotic world, to speak from her heart, and to acknowledge the raw emotions of life.
When she is not writing, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, listening to just about any genre of music, dancing, singing, and enjoying life with her teenage son.
