WELCOME MESSAGE

Hello and welcome to FrancieMaeWrites!

 

I grew up in abject poverty in the segregated South and wrote about my long journey out. We must seek the truth and tell our stories.

 

I write, blog and speak about the impacts of poverty and keys to breaking the poverty cycle. My personal motto is, “I lived in poverty, but poverty didn’t live in me.”

 

I’m committed to breaking the cycle of poverty, one book, one blog, and one speech at a time.
