Originally from The Bronx, New York but Ariane currently resides in Georgia. She has 3 beautiful young adults, 2 in college and 1 in high school. Ariane began writing when she was about 9 years old, that was the only way she knew how to express herself. Ariane was very shy growing up and still a little now but not as much. Writing gives Ariane freedom of any type of expression, that is why her form of writing is poetry. A challenge to write this poetry book, because she didn't quite believe in herself. But at the top of this year I was determined to become closer to who I really am. I've been waiting on me a long time why not finally show up for myself. This book has brought about confidence, dedication to oneself, this book is intentionally and purposeful. And these are all the things I have been trying to be all my life and I can finally say I am. Let's not forget a loving, soulful beauty, who expresses freely, openly and unapologetically. This book is me, so thank you for holding me tight and loving on me.
