Other You featuring Sonia Lozada

Poet Sonia Lozada is a purposefully bicultural performer. A Puerto Rican from Chicago, now a California resident, uses prose to shape ideas and stacks rhythms, concepts and emotions between the covers, neatly pressed on pages teeming with life. Her approach to creating is rooted in self-care and awareness. “You can call yourself an author if you write something.” So go do it. We chat about what it takes to take the leap and what it could have been for her if she hadn’t.

You can follow her on social media @poeticsonia on Instagram and @myst2cal on Twitter. Check out her website https://www.sonialozada.com and https://poeticresurrection.com

Other You featuring Lily Smith

16 year-old writer Lily Smith moved from San Diego to Berlin, Germany to pursue her craft and position herself to be a teenage author. Wise, self-aware, adventurous, daring and thoughtful, she tells stories inspired by the emotional landscapes of the parts of our lives rife with hardships, challenges and even great successes. A pragmatist who is keenly aware of and trusts in the nudges of her higher power, she marches on with a calmness in her soul and determination in her bones.

Other You featuring Jerkwenton _the Author

Never having a role model and being well aware of the low expectations of him rooted in generations of prejudice, Jerkwenton decided he was going to redefine what was expected of him, and other men like him. He initiated community programs like Cleaning Up My Hood where he and others gather and pick up trash and litter strewn about their community, and he regularly donates a portion of the proceeds from the sales of his book “Soldier Island” to Burke Industries. He has a mission to build the image of a good man up and instill it in the youth of today so the expectations can be laid at their feet and they can shoot past them as they seek to exceed them.

Other You featuring Michelle Cox

Award winning author of the Henrietta and Inspector Howard series, Michelle Cox is a child of the 70s/80s and has been crafting stories for over a decade. A glitch in the matrix saw fit to live with us all now instead of when her spirit truly lived, in the 1930s. She writes a blog that tells the stories of those of us often forgotten, nursing home residents in the Chicagoland area.

Other You featuring Henya Drescher

Author, power lifter, magna cum laude graduate, cultivator of a large garden, Henya Drescher reminisces with me about life in Israel before and after uncovering family secrets. Her response to the difficulties of life as a child was diving into literature that impressed upon her in ways that show up in her writing today. The heroines in her stories are strong, informed, motivated, well-rounded characters and her thrillers keep you guessing.
