LATANYA MACK of Atlanta, Georgia, is a poet. As a retiree, she began writing to encourage her family and friends. In turn, they encouraged her to publish her works. Her granddaughter, KENYA WALLACE-WILLIAMS, showed a special interest in helping her compile many of her poems. Along with her granddaughter, she published Sit, Walk, and Stand in Every Heavenly Blessing (2011), a book of inspirational poetry based upon the book of Ephesians; I Am... Still Standing and Moving Forward (2015), a book of poetry, prose, and affirmations about overcoming life's challenges by discovering the power within to create and recreate one's reality-divine authority given by God to every human being; and Mélange: A Perfect Blend captures how all things in life work for our good. One: Singleness of Thought, Purpose, and Spirit expresses the sentiment that we are all one and that oneness is achieved through love, forgiveness, and divine purpose.
