closed in my face, not because of the color of my skin, but that, I am a proud
Republican. And the more door closers
are the people who share my skin color, because of my personal political {republican} supportive views.
But as my great Aunt would
say, “Ye’ press on chile’ they gotta give you your medal. Even if they give it ya’ with their eyes
closed.”
Tj Baker’s birth name is Tanyra Denise Shiver. She remember begging her mother for Two dollars and Seventy-five
cents to buy her first personal chapter book called Are you there, God it’s me Margaret, by Judy Blume.
This little girl who we come to
know now as Tj Baker was captured not by the words in the text of that book,
but it captured her attention span for a long time and nothing seemed to
matter. Wow what wonderful powers that
an author could have over somebody. She
too must have that power!
And a lovely writer Tj Baker
inside and out she has become. And as
we follow her “writing” journey path we too will become in “awe” over and over
about her.
