Confession of love: Confession of Love

By Shelley Jenkins

Shelley Jenkins is a fiction writer who was born in Louisiana and raised in Florida. When she was a teenager, she told her mother that she wanted to write her story. She quit school; however, she earned her GED. She went to college and earned an associate degree in Paralegal. Eventually, she begins working at the Law Library and from there with Law Enforcement as a clerk who wrote minor incident reports. She had a strong will to write, and she desired to write a book; however, she lacked the education as an author/writer yet, she anticipated becoming a "poet" or a writer. In 2015, she began playing around with words. Then one of her cousins, whom she never met, reached out for her via Facebook. Reached out to her and said, "I believe writing is your gift from God " that her poems were more than just amusement; he thought it was her gift. His encouragement inspired her to step outside of her box or comfort zone and take a chance. Then they had a theme at church regarding African American History on a Sunday. She chose to portray Maya Angelou, and she read "And Still I Rise" by Maya Angelou. One of the members spoke about her becoming a writer, which also confirmed her belief that maybe writing was the path God had chosen for her. However, her biggest enemy was fear and bringing attention to herself. Then she begins watching motivational videos, and most of the videos mentioned the same word "fear" ...it was the stumbling block of many actors and actresses, yet they overcame it. She knew she too had to overcome it to become successful or utilize her gift. She realized during everything when God places his hands on something; everything falls into place."My name is Katherine Roosevelt. I would like to take a moment to share my story with you. It has been a long journey and a difficult battle. I do not know where to begin; I guess I will start by telling you a little bit about myself. I never wanted to be the ordinary Jane or a superhero. I just wanted to be me, Katherine Roosevelt. However, I sought love from the wrong person and my life quickly changed. I ended up in a domestic violence relationship and there was no way out. However, I eventually found the strength and the love that I needed to escape."
