Sade’ L. Collins, a mother and a wife with a vigilant,
ambitious personality has been a part of the literary game since she was in 8th
grade by writing her first book that was never published entitled ‘Me and
You’. Being able to set in stone by
working a full time job and attending college for her Business Administration
Associates Degree she continues to press forward with her new production
company SLC Productionz. Since the year of 2007 Sade who had worked hard to
convert her dreams into reality is now on the road to success with her first
debut novel ‘A Lover’s Mentality’.
Born in Chattanooga, TN as Sade Yates, her mother noticed
her love for reading, writing and art so she enrolled her in to a fine arts
school. While there, she discovered many talents; creative art and creative
writing. Being so indulge in the arts world her passion grew as she progressed
on with age. While crafting her talents, she endured a lot with love that
brought her growth as a young woman.
By the age of 18, Sade was on the road of discovering
herself. Through her writing from experiences and different life situations
that goes on in a everyday life, she created thoughts and characters that over
the years evolved into numerous of books. “A Lover’s Mentality”, “Me, Myself
& I” and “Hustlin’ N Love” being her first of the main few that Sade has
written.
Over the past 10 years, with determination, Sade continued to
sculpt her thoughts of becoming an urban writer, with the admiration of Mya
Angelou, Zane, Sister Soujah, Jade Jones and LaShonda Devaughn, her vision of
becoming a well known author grew.
Sade’s motivation grew. Knowing that the world is bigger than Chattanooga
itself, she sought more and was strong-minded to never settle for less. “Life
isn’t guaranteed, jobs aren’t guaranteed… God gave us talents for a reason---
we just have to learn how to discover them within ourselves. You just have to
learn how to develop them from the inside so the world can see that you were
blessed too. There are not a lot of people in the world who want the most out
of life, who want to accomplish things--- who just want to be set free from
poverty… there are some just don’t want it as bad or some who do but can’t.
That’s just how I feel. In the world where I have came from. There are more
haters then there are motivators.”
After researching and learning the ins and outs of the
self-publishing world, Sade came to the conclusion that she was no longer
putting her dreams on the shelf. She decided that after giving birth to her
first born, after marriage and finishing school in the 2013 year, she was going
to leave a trace of her foot prints in the world starting with SLC Productionz.
“I don’t want to take away; I want to give and discover
what’s unseen. It’s hard for those who want to pursue their dreams and they
feel like they can’t for various reasons and excuses. Can’t anyone stop you but
yourself? Of course you’re going to make sacrifices and take a few lost at the
end of the day there will always be something to gain. There are little girls
who have no hopes and dreams. The world isn’t like it use to be. No one really
focuses in on those who are silent and afraid to speak, afraid to live… afraid
to dream. SLC Productionz will be that door opener for the writers and poets’
who has never been discovered. No one took the time out to discover me; the
writing world is a small percentage versus the acting, sports and music world.
I’ve learn you have to discover yourself to even be seen. No one can’t see what
you have until you show it, SLC Productionz will be that journey, that path,
that open door for the unseen to be seen, for dreams to become reality, for
opportunities as a writer to become a success!”
