The family legacy gone wrong
Published Wednesday, August 31, 2005 by Alessandro Ashanti | E-mail this post
I come from 4 generations of writers. My great great grandmother, was the first black female to ever have a book published. My grandmother was a well published author. My mother is a well published journalist and author. Don't believe me? Check out my mother's book on the family's history.
Pride of Family.
Now we come to me. I have always loved writing since I was first asked to come up with creative stories in elementary school. I've dabbled in fiction, poetry, prose, short stories, screen plays, comic books, and psychotic ramblings. Last year I decided to start posting a blog on a whim. As I told my mother a month later, I had finally found my medium. Sorry great great grandmother. I know it's a long way away from The Autobiography of Martin Delaney. I know this effectively ends the writing legacy of the family.
That sound you just heard is my great great grand mother trying to dig her grave deeper.
