St Louis has had the biggest impact on my upbringing I've lived most of my life here and this is where I've experienced the most grief The worst things that has happened to me has happened here so that has definitely impacted my story and has made me more empathetic

V is no stranger when it comes to writing Experiencing the death of two family members back to back kept KV's pen to paper as she primarily writes about her own personal experiences Hoping to leave an impact with her written word she is like an open book

In 2010 I lost my dad to gun violence. Six years later I lost my brother to gun violence as well So that period was a really rough time for me. In 2017 I had all these poems I had written about love, loss, and grief So I turned it into a book and it was amazing how well received it was

Writing Writing really saved my life When I lost my dad I started blogging. One of the first pieces I wrote and shared with everyone got really big on Facebook and ended up going viral

I always revert to writing when anything in life gets hard. I journal every single day about my life experiences

I like expressing myself. Sometimes the outlet is different but it is always about me telling a story. Whether that is rapping, writing a novel, or creating a poem It's all about trying to expel whatever thoughts are on my mind
