Ms. McGhee's love for writing started while journaling as a young child. This turned into writing poetry & music which provided an outlet to express herself. Music was the most influential and greatest motivation since her father was a bass player who encouraged writing playing instruments as they were readily available in the home. I was raised on musical influences such as Stevie Wonder, Maze & Frankie Beverly, Miles Davis, The Jackson Five, and Anita Baker constantly being played in the home. Other influences to write came from artists such as Prince, Tupac Shakur, Mary J. Blige, Phil Collins, and Michael Jackson.
