Outten has experienced a series of events, trials, and life lessons that she has made into stories, myths, poems, and allegories. Before dedicating herself to writing, Outten had to overcome many challenges from her childhood. During her upbringing, Outten survived sexual trauma, and physical and verbal abuse, which she has openly talked about in her poetry. As a result, Outten suffered from mental and physical illnesses throughout her adult life. The hardships she has faced in her quest to rediscover her purpose are what awakened her to serve her true calling of being a writer.
In 2021, Outten had her first heart attack in Washington Square Park, just after she had written a poem about death on the city ground with chalk. Ever since, Outten has been in and out of the hospital while simultaneously pursuing her craft of writing. In addition to working her part time job, Outten frequently attends open mic nights all over her home state of New Jersey. She also frequents select places in New York City to perform her poetry. During her travels, she has become acquainted with many local poets, comedians, and artists from the tri-state area, including those of the NJ Poetry Renaissance that is based in Long Branch, New Jerseyver menos
