About the Author

Felicia”Fe’ Fea” White is a California native born and raised in the Bay Area. She has over fourteen years of experience working with high-risk youth and was a high-risk former foster youth herself. Felicia has a God given passion for working with the youth, but her focus is on trying to build the self- concept of every young woman she meets because she knows personally how that inner struggle of a lack of self worth can effect your relationships. Felicia has been writing poetry since she was a young girl and has always had a desire to share her work with others. She is also a singer/songwriter and uses her songs to encourage people through difficult times by letting them know that God is ever present in their lives no matter what they may be going through and it is to Him that we need to go; to receive the love and acceptance that we long for.
