Robin Writes is an expression of my life experiences through words, prose, fiction and nonfiction concernnig my family, my faith, and Black culture. These are the things that preoccupied my mind until…

On September 6, 2013, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and I was blindsided. It was the last thing that I expected to happen. From the moment, I heard the words “You have cancer…” my life change forever in that instant. My priorities changed and many things that used to be important were no longer significant. I found out that I was much stronger than I ever thought. I thought that I would just crawl in bed and stay there in the fetal position crying for days or weeks, but after a weekend of utter disorientation; I pulled it together and focused on all I had to live for – my children, husband, sister, mother, father, nephews, and nieces, as well as a host of extended family and friends.

Through all the tests, surgery and treatments – I experienced heartache, healing, happiness & even some humor! I know now more than ever that time waits for no one. We must cherish our blessings and live each day as if it were our last. These are no longer clichés to me anymore. This is my truth. My passion, my dream, my desire is to become a published writer. As I continue on my literary journey, I invite you to come along with me. Let’s pursue our passions and realize our dreams together.

All my love,
Robin
