Biographie de Lorna Jackie Wilson

LORNA JACKIE WILSON is an artist from Detroit, Michigan. She has an affinity for lyrical poetry, spoken-word, and courageous conversations that speak to conditions in foster care. Lorna was placed in foster care at the age of four. At the age of ten, she was reunited with her mother and siblings, only to be separated and returned to foster care at the age of thirteen. She has lived in Michigan most of her life outside of enlistment in the United States Army.
She has four beautiful children who support her writing and encourage its continuance. Lorna says, "My family is such an inspiration to me in all of my endeavors and I sincerely appreciate and love them dearly." Lorna's journey continues as she gives back by speaking about foster care experiences and overcoming obstacles. She retired from public education in 2019 and is the founder and owner of Black Butterfly Books LLC.
She holds master's degrees in Business Education and Information Technology and often utilizes graphic design to bring her writings to life. Lorna says, "But more importantly, I find myself in awe, as I watch God organize my thoughts and convey those things that I could never do alone. My prayer is to inspire someone, in some way, in an area where they need it most."
