Doors sometimes are still being closed in my face, not because of the color of my skin, but that, I am a proud Republican. And the more door closers are the people who share my skin color, because of my personal political {republican} supportive views.
But as my great Aunt would say, "Ye' press on chile' they gotta give you your medal. Even if they give it ya' with their eyes closed."
Tj Baker'sbirth name is Tanyra Denise Shiver. She remember begging her mother for Two dollars and Seventy-five cents to buy her first personal chapter book called Are you there, God it's me Margaret, by Judy Blume.
This little girl who we come to know now as Tj Baker was captured not by the words in the text of that book, but it captured her attention span for a long time and nothing seemed to matter. Wow what wonderful powers that an author could have over somebody. She too must have that power!
And a lovely writer Tj Baker inside and out she has become. And as we follow her "writing" journey path we too will become in "awe" over and over about her.
