Interviewee- Author Pamela C. Nwokeji

My name is Pamela C. Nwokeji. I am an African American poet, writer, and author of "Lilac Bush" which is a new book combining a poetic memoir with a voice of concern for the societal state of today’s African American culture. I was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts. In my book, I recall joyful experiences growing up in Roxbury, as well as honest, poetic descriptions of events that have directly affected me and my loved ones. I share these experiences with readers with the hope that they can become a catalyst for change in the lives of others. Through my poetry, I give readers encouragement and lead them to a path of success through education, hard work, and perseverance. I also share my spiritual journey and the strength I receive through my relationship with God.

What is the title(s) of your books?

Lilac Bush: A Poetic Journey and Cultural Awakening for Future Generations

When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer, what is inspired you?

I’ve always known I would write a book but did not know when or how it would come about. But due to a few recent personal events in my life, I feel that God called me to write "Lilac Bush".

Do you have a favorite scripture or quote?

I love, and have always loved, Romans chapter 8 which describes the depth of God’s love for us. Nothing can separate us from God’s love:

Romans 8

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[k] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

How long does it take you to write a book?

Two years
