Autorenporträt
Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, and inspired by the American screenwriter, film director, producer, actor, and professor Spike Lee, Ethel Smiter began her own creative journey to healing. Her determination to rise above the odds led her to return to school and obtain her high school diploma at the age of 50, an inspiring realization that it's never too late to go after your dreams. Ethel enjoys jazz dance, volunteering, and writing. Ethel loves chocolate with mint in it and chocolate covered cashews. Her favorite ice cream is black walnut from Baskin Robbins, her favorite cake is German chocolate, pineapple is her favorite fruit, and collard greens with turkey tails is her favorite dish. She loves to hear the sound of kids laughing because it gives her hope that everything is going to be all right. Her favorite color is black because it dictates boldness and power. She won a trophy years ago for jazz dancing. She loves high heel shoes but she's a T-shirt, flip flops, and jeans kind of girl. She is very loyal, and her loyalty has caused her heart a lot of pain. She will walk to the ends of the earth for those she loves. And last but not least, Ethel is a queen who is fearfully and wonderfully made by God almighty.
