Valerie Washington has a unique writing style, as well as content, to attract curious new readers. Her book, “Soul Passion,” is not a long read but very engaging and descriptive to draw readers into numerous readings to find new meaning. Valerie Washington- Author of “Soul Passion” is a Dance Specialist, Visual Artist, Poet, Freelance Writer and a Motivational Speaker. The name Valerie means "Strength "which is befitting of my nature and character.
My personal background, I believe, is unique. My birthplace of Thailand has blessed me with beautiful memories of an extraordinary land. As a youth, my family and I moved to the United States. My Father was a Master Sergeant in the United States Air Force for 20 years. As far back as I can remember; life has been an adventure. From traveling to far away lands to facing some of life’s most daunting challenges, I have survived. There were times I wanted to give up .I felt like my life was worthless; everything I did seemed to fail. I lost hope in myself. I research my life like phrases in an essay. Love weakens me back into the Gates of Darkness. I have managed to find my inner strength to overcome my trials. My loving children and my dignity have kept me strong through my laughter and my tears; I am grateful.
What’s next for me? Well, I desire to travel back to my homeland to help with the provision of aid to the displaced children of Thailand. I also wish to take my own children to Italy for tea to surround myself with the sounds of the Ocean. My gift to the world is my voice. As a writer, through stories and poems, I hope to bring insight and perspective to the readers, as well as, stimulate their mind’s eye. I believe that poetry and literature are the expressions of the heart that have long been sources of inspiration that possess the power to fuel the imagination.
