I'm a go-getter, single mom, career minded, aspiring writer. Everyone has a story to tell ...writing, makes it all come to life. As a silent poet and lover of using words to express my thoughts and see through soul, I'd like to think that if words came gift wrapped, everyday would be my birthday! I believe that there is no pause button to life or living, and that a dream is placed in all of us. My vision is to empower single mothers to garner a confidence and positivity within themselves to pursue their dreams. My mission is to share my journey to create the walls of confidence... one mother at a time.
Bio:
Born Pascalle Onika Lewis in Trinidad, but residing in Brooklyn, NY for the past 18 years where she completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology at Medgar Evers College, her first self-published book of poetry entitled, “Collections of a See Through Soul-Portraits,” written under the pen name Onika Pascal, debuted in 2008. Since then, she has released a second volume of poetry titled, “Collections of a See Through Soul – Bardvillian Symphonies”. Currently, Onika Pascal is working on many projects, including a novel titled, “On The Eve Of Goodbye” and a memoir titled, “Becoming More Than Just An Orange.” Both with an unknown date of release.
Pascal’s talent of turning words into phenomenal stories and pieces of art is one that is infectious. Pascal’s publisher, Pam Osbey of Osbey Books, Inc. solidifies this:
“With words that pierce your soul and beg you to enter the temple of openness and curiosity for life, Onika Pascal’s pen commands your attention at first glance,” Osbey explains. “Working with this inquisitive soul whose spirit is unique through a lens all her own, I have been honored to see the progression of a writer who has only touched the surface of her literary purpose.”
Pascal served as a group leader with the Misunderstood Youth Development Center, a non-profit organization that provides a place for youth to express themselves. It is here that Pascal shared the wonders of poetry with the teens in her group.
When she's not writing, Pascal aims to bring you vivid interviews on authors who are taking the literary world by storm.
