Stories of a Polished Pistil: Lace and Ruffles

Maquita is a storyteller currently based in the Washington, D.C. area that discovered her love for literature after taking a required Shakespeare class during her undergraduate studies. Her love for words, art, women empowerment, God and self-expression led her to poetry, storytelling and becoming a writer. When she isn’t working her 9-5, accommodating her daughter’s social life or laughing obnoxiously with admirable souls she hopes to take wherever she goes, Maquita is writing (and smiling, she likes to smile).
