(EMPIRE NEWS NETWORK (ENN)— Author Bonita BoSweets Miree-Likely is What it Do! Please take a moment to read all about another brave Cancer survivor. The beautiful and talented, Bonita Miree-Likely. They call her BoSweets!
BoSweets has been on a writer’s journey for over 20 years. Currently she resides in Saint Petersburg, Florida. She was raised in California where she attended Cajon High School in San Bernardino. This is where she was first introduced to the arts and developed a passion for oil painting and poetry writing.
She’s the Published Author of “Louder Than A Quiet Storm”, “She Writes & Secrets of The Soul”, and “Shattered Pieces Made Whole”. Her work is being described as tear jerking reality, full of action, uplifting, conducive, thrill feeling, and powerful!
One writer says, “This was written for my soul”! This honest and heartfelt writing can be found in the St. Petersburg, Flordia Public Library, order at your local bookstore or Amazon.
BoSweets’ passion for writing was a way of dealing with life’s issues and coping in urban communities of Southern California. At first it was escaping, releasing bottled feelings and private thoughts. She later learned of cafés with the same passion as hers and began sharing with others.
Tapping into another passion, she taught and counseled at risk teens in supported living and foster care settings identifying areas of need, volunteered with youth through Cincinnati Youth Collaborative, Beech Acres Family Services, My Sister My Friend, as well as in the community.
Since relocating in Saint Petersburg, Flordia, BoSweets continues to be an instrument in the community through volunteering motivational speaking skills in groups of 6th to 9th grade students in distressed middle school.
Please remember that education is vital not just for women but for men as well. It’s important to get checkups regularly. Mammograms are needed to detect early signs of breast cancer. Mammograms can spot breast cancer before a lump can be felt. Please take care of your health and get tested.
Until next week L’s!
