About Writer Ayvaunn Penn

Former senior editor and writer for leading black news website Your Black World

Founder of Your Black World’s series Your Black Poets

Founder of Black And Making It

In-demand spoken word artist

An Ayvaunn Penn is this sort of beautifully black thing; a not-so-little girl; a young lady

But most importantly, an Ayvaunn Penn is a writer

An Ayvaunn Penn is…me

And I welcome you to this place — a place bursting with all things…me

Welcome

There are a few things that you must know about this blossoming young lady, this blossoming…me

I’m an extraordinary writer by God’s blessing and fine tuned by English degree

I have passions beyond the love of words, but my words facilitate these

I love black people — all their boldness, blackness, beauty

I love all the soul in their voice…when they speak…when they sing

I love black youth

My words

Move them to do great things

My life

A living testimony

Into fruition did my Jesus bring me

My God is my first passion

I love Him, too, you see

Because of Him, I am all the greatness He created me to be

I thank Him in advance that my name is renowned

It is because of Him that you know me

I thank Him in advance that my words are far reaching

They fall upon many grounds

Tis my hope that they are teaching

All these things make an Ayvaunn Penn

An Ayvaunn Penn is…me

Welcome
