Hi, I’m Ashadiya’xolani Brooks, a writer and poet who dreams of becoming a published author. My favorite book, The Signs of the Mind by Ernest Holmes, inspires my passion for metaphysics and mental science, which I plan to study alongside psychology once I complete my degree.
I’m a big fan of Ancient Aliens, Snowfall, and uplifting messages from TD Jakes and Steven Furtick. When I’m not writing or watching my favorite shows, I’m outdoors fishing—a hobby I’ve loved since I was five—or cooking up dishes from Jamaican, Italian, and Indian cuisines (Jamaican food is my favorite!).
The most important thing to know about me is that I’m innocent and still fighting to overturn my conviction. I stay hopeful, prayerful, and focused on being a light to others. I’m excited to meet new people and connect through shared stories and experiences.
