My faith is the foundation of who I am\u2014I believe in the redeeming power of Jesus Christ and love encouraging others to stay positive, trust God, believe in themselves, and never give up. I\u2019m big on spreading good energy and reminding people that God is always on time and still in control.<\/h5><h5 data-start=\"377\" data-end=\"884\">I\u2019ve always had a wild imagination, and writing became my outlet through years of reading and dreaming alongside unforgettable characters. I mainly write fantasy, but I also explore psychological realism and science fiction. In 2022, I self-published my short story collection <em data-start=\"654\" data-end=\"661\">STUCK<\/em> as part of my MFA from the University of Baltimore, and I\u2019m currently working on my fantasy series, <em data-start=\"762\" data-end=\"780\">The Fairest of Valeera<\/em>. You can also find some of my work on Wattpad, where I enjoy connecting with other writers and readers.<\/h5><h5 data-start=\"886\" data-end=\"1224\">Outside of writing, I\u2019m a proud Spider-Man fan, a foodie who loves cooking new recipes, and a full-on TV show binge-watcher. Dancing isn\u2019t my strong suit\u2014so if \u201cKiss\u201d by Prince comes on, just laugh with me! Thanks for stopping by and supporting me. Feel free to connect anytime, and remember\u2014stay blessed, keep smiling, and never give up.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e4b5bf e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5e4b5bf\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-926bc4b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"926bc4b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>Reading is good for the mind.\u00a0<\/em><br \/><em>Writing is good for the heart.<\/em><br \/><em>Together they are good for the soul.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b387f7 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"9b387f7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-63c8088 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"63c8088\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<iframe src=\"https:\/\/lequitacharrison.substack.com\/embed\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" style=\"border: 1px solid #EEE; background: white\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey, I\u2019m LeQuita!
