Love of reading and writing is what has been a part of this writer's life. She gives credit to her mother for introducing her to and her older sister to nightly readings. Debora has begun creating and making up stories and poems even before she was able to put them in writing. As she grew, so did her love for reading and writing. She began to write complete manuscripts at the age of thirteen. By the age of fifteen, she had followers who would make excuses to come and "speak" to her in class so that they could be the first one to get their hands on the manuscripts. As time progressed, she read at weddings, elementary and middle schools, and churches. A student at the University of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, she took thirteen different literatures and, to this day, remains one of the best descriptive writers that has passed through the university.
