Meet Dionne Character: Essence Bestselling Author, Columnist and Entertainment Writer.
Hi Dionne, what do you want your legacy to be?
As a creative writer, author and columnist, I want my legacy to be filled with words. Spoken words. Empowered words. Unsaid words. Raw and Real words. Words of love and hope. Words of encouragement and excitement for life, as tomorrow is not promised. I want my legacy to be filled with words one line at a time, reminding those who have nothing to say to scream aloud, letting their words be heard. I would love readers to remember every article, interview, short-story and poem that I wrote was written from my heart to theirs. I want my friends and family to always know that I was unafraid to say the things people were unable to express as I was able to tap into my creative power. Most of all, I want readers to know that my life’s voice as a writer and artists was meant for change whether through a song and/or written books. I want every student who created in my creative writing classes to remember the “freedom” of voice I allowed them to experience. I want to be remembered as someone who changed the literary world being her authentic self as I’ve always known the power of words.
white magnolias
He made us woman, graceful and perfect enough to use our beauty like white magnolias full of nobility reflecting the purity deep down in our souls where the desires of our hearts can always be found within the creativity blowing in the wind. We are the beginning of life, the divine reality of love. We are the completion of the earth.
For without us there will be no growth. We are the structure to the steel of the South where we have, for generations, been able to live through many hardships maintaining our beauty in a not-so- easy world to grow where we rise in pastel bloom for only a season because we are strong as oak trees in hurricane waters. Don’t be afraid. You were born to shake up the world!
“GIVE HER CREATIVE POWER AND WATCH HER FLY!”
Has it been a smooth road?
My road has been amazing. I have set out and accomplished so many things while more opportunities continue to unfold.
Nonetheless, with the major setback of Hurricane Katrina, my road was full of struggles. I had to reinvent myself and my life relocating from New Orleans to Atlanta to Virginia back to New Orleans to Atlanta finally deciding that I would move to Los Angeles to broaden my brand after losing everything, i.e., pictures, clothing, home and friends…
Never let the words of others interfere with your destination.
