“She’s a genius” I thought to my self when I read the words on the cover of the book. She’s my kind of girl. She loves movies; she has a man who she’s obviously in love with, and on top of all that she’s smart as hell.
This brilliant young lady’s name is Tiarra Pryor. She’s so organized and creative. She has a table of contents so you can see what you want and don’t want to read. She has all types of genres: poetry, lists, short stories, and more.
One of my personal favorites is a story that she wrote called “My first REAL Valentine”. This guy sounds like a keeper. The way she describes him is like a prince out of a fairy tale but with a sense of humor. She’s one lucky lady; she’d be a fool not to keep him.
Now here’s where her creativity comes in. She has a poem called “Time for School”. She has the whole poem written in scrabbles. Why? Because the poem is provocative and she didn’t want to give anyone the wrong impression that she was a “Girls gone wild” type.
She’s intellectual because she’s interested in her culture and her history. She has a web on lynching. She’s showing how it traces back to her. She must be firm on how she sees her self as an African American in today’s society. Talking to her made realize that you must be successful in this world in order to make it.
Not only does she write well but she also has a little bit of art skills up her sleeve. She drew a street block and it was unbelievable. She must be a bright girl because there wasn’t a page that didn’t have color. That means bright colors, a bright future. You can tell what type of person she is by reading and looking through her book. You can tell that she’s happy, successful, creative, bright, and knows where she came from and knows where she’s going.
