EbonyJanice Moore was born and raised in Sandusky, Ohio. She graduated in 2001 and attended the University of Cincinnati and then Miles College in Birmingham, Alabama. She is a Self proclaimed "Sista-Girl", artist, activist, community loving friend -
She loves having "nappy" hair and when she dances for the Lord she pretends to dance like she's a part of Alvin Aiely dance troupe... even though she can't really dance. She loves Jesus and is clearly not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ as she will pray "in Jesus name" in a room
full of atheists. She is bold. Even when she is silent. Writer, dramatic worshiper, and poet - EbonyJanice uses words to get peace. And when the words won't come the way she wants them to she is known to cry, dance, draw, sing, shout... anything to get it out! She is the mighty woman of God and believes that she is "the called." Did I mention she loves the Lord? Apparently he heard her cry and pitied every groan.
She is the author of a book of poems entitled: Young Black Girl (belle noire publishing) and Love Poems for Ivan: and for the times that I hate you; founder of Belle Noire Ministries (a young women's ministry), former monthly contributor to the monthly black interest news paper: The Advocate, and teacher of a curriculum she designed called - Black Girl Curriculum (which includes her 10 Things Every Black Girl Should Know list). EbonyJanice works full time as an advocate for Free Girls and is pursuing her dreams of being free to travel, love and have peace 24 hours a day. She is a painter and loves spending time with this man that she loves. She's in love with a man. Clearly she feels that's noteworthy. He is For Real. It is FINALLY well...
Really. It is well.
