About ME

My name is Noel, and I have dedicated the last 28 years to advocacy and service as a social worker. I hold a Master of Social Work degree and am currently a few steps away from licensure.

My journey as a writer began in 1994 when I completed my first project, titled ‘All I Need Is a True Opportunity.’ Since then, I have continued to write, creating poetry and reflections that explore authenticity, humanity, and the challenges of finding one’s voice in a complex world.

Over the years, I have been invited to share my work on stages and in communities where people have connected with my message. At many of these events, I promised my audiences that one day I would publish the book they encouraged me to write. Their support, along with the purchase of individual poems, helped sustain that vision.

About The Book

For nearly 30 years, I have been trying to bring this project to life. Throughout that journey, countless observers of my work have encouraged me to publish this book.

This poetic autobiography is an exploration of what it means to live as your authentic self without fear of societal backlash. It is about standing outside the norm, questioning the pressures that shape our identities, and reclaiming the human essence that can become obscured by modern technological ways of life.

As society grows increasingly dependent on systems, automation, and external validation, this book serves as a reminder that humanity cannot be reduced to efficiency, economics, or social rewards. Through personal reflection and poetic storytelling, it challenges readers to reconnect with their individuality, compassion, and inner truth.

The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English.

My dear friend, your book feels like a brave exhale after years of holding your breath.

Reading this made me feel the weight of what you have carried, but also the beauty of what survived in you. Your words are honest, wounded, poetic, and powerful. You did not just write about pain; you gave language to the quiet places where so many Black women have had to hide their truth, their gifts, and their softness.

I am proud of you for telling your story. FIR: Feel Is Real feels like more than a book. It feels like a release, a mirror, and a reminder that your voice was never meant to be silenced.

Your Mentor and Forever your Friend,

Your poetry enlightens my soul and uplifts my heart. It speaks to life’s challenges and comforts the heart, reminding me that better days are ahead. It is the spoken word of life’s unspoken trials. You have a rare gift for capturing the weight of lived experience and the realities of mental health with honesty and care. Thank you for keeping it real.
