Hi, I'm Sharmay!
I live in London (UK), obsess over ripe soursop, collect lavender in my pockets and I write.
After writing a poem a day for several years, I stopped living the life of a procrastinating perfectionist and self-published my self-illustrated debut poetry collection, be the Uplifter - an empowering, inspiring and motivating book of positive poems.
There are definitely several more books in me; I'm currently working on my second poetry collection. I can't wait to share all of the writing.
WRITER
I performed my poem, "Dino Superstars" in the UK season 2, episode 5, open mic slot of Life & Rhymes on the Sky Arts channel.
I performed a poem about London's Notting Hill Carnival at the Royal Albert Hall for the 2020 virtual carnival event.
