My name is Anjeelah (Angela).
Philly has been my city of origin for thirty-some years. I create works of poetry, fiction (including plays), nonfiction and creative nonfiction. And of course I am a patron of many art forms, including theater, dance, music, visuals and just about anything that is artistic in expression. Unfortunately, I do not get to meet many others like myself because I am very busy with my children (whom I love being with) and the everyday humdrum of office work (hate it!).
Feeling the longtime itch in my fingers and my mind for the written word of my own thoughts, I am beginning to take the plunge. Hopefully I can quit the silly office job that robs me of my creativity and stifles my dreams, then pursue the life I really want! Here's to all of you who are with me! Let's go and do this thing!
