In Volume Two: Chapter Thirteen, we welcomed Maryland-based Poet and Writer Thalia Edwards. Thalia is the author of two books; “Black Codes” and her latest release “9”; both available via Amazon.com.

Thalia was born and raised in Montgomery County, Maryland by two deaf parents, an African American father and an Ecuadorian Mother. “Nine” is Thalia’s second book which gives her readers a transparent and in-depth look into her personal life from a creative perspective in comparison to her first book “Black Codes” which highlighted her experience working in the field as an ASL interpreter in the Washington metropolitan area with children and young adults to which she gained more knowledge about herself and her community.
