Little Eagle• Show stories

I am a single mother of a beautiful little girl named Ashley. I am 33 years of age and I write; Poetry, editorials, articles on religion and children, and stories. I just published my first book which you can purchase from amazon.com or publishamerica.com Cherokee Wisdom Lives on Through Our Words. You can view my poetry, columns, and stories at http://allpoetry.com/little%20feather  as well as learn more about me and my heritage through my site www.freewebs.com/spirit_cherokee . My inspirations for my writing are my daughter, family, God and the traumatic childhood I had. I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and an activist in raising awareness of this horrible crime against the innocence of children.

I have been a single mother for 12 years, the best work and most rewarding job I have ever had; I also worked for the Department of Child Support Enforcement as a support enforcement specialist, the Council for Exceptional Children. A non profit organization that advocates for better education polices for the exceptionally diverse student population; and, Mental Health America as a consultant doing some data entry and cleaning databases. My volunteering jobs include working for Arlington Housing Corporation, which provides low income housing grants and home improvement grants to low income families in the Arlington area; and, Arlington public schools where I helped out in the ED center in an administrative assistant capacity. Can you detect a running theme here J. I recently, as of last week, accepted a position as coordinator, administrative with Mental Health America. I work in the HR/Finance department.

In an effort to continually educate and better myself, I completed my first degree an Associates in business. Now I am pursuing a Bachelors in Business Administration. I also have plans to start my own foundation (Family and Community Ties) www.freewebs.com/tammyknott , plug, and want to obtain my masters in Early Childhood education as well as a doctorate in Early Childhood Psychology. I am hopeful that having a degree will afford me better job opportunities so that I can continue to provide for my family until I complete my education goals and start working on my foundation in earnest.

I am eager to meet new people who share my interests or offer me new insight on other cultures and beliefs. You can contact me at any of the following: tkn287@aol.com, little_feather_is_cherokee@yahoo.com, lilfeathercherokee@hotmail.com and lilfeather@allpoetry.com where I am the Greeter Coordinator.
