- About Me:
- Shakeera Frazer, author of the novel “Fast Lane”, has known since she was eleven years old that she wanted to be a writer.Born in the Bronx, 26 year old Frazer joined the National Guard right out of high school so she could fulfill her educational dreams. With her innate love of fashion, Frazer initially thought that she might want to have a career in fashion merchandising and become a buyer, but she quickly realized that she was a writer at heart and really wanted to focus on that instead. Frazer graduated from Morgan State University with a Bachelors degree in Family and Consumer Science and a minor in Fashion Merchandising. After leaving Morgan State, Frazer went to the University of Maryland where she graduated with a Masters Degree in Education. After grad school, Frazer began teaching at an elementary school in Maryland. Although she loved the children she was teaching, she knew that it was not her passion and she really wanted to focus more on her writing. Once Frazer sat down at the computer, the writing just came. She had a story in her mind and knew that she had to get it down in print. The writing did not go in order. It seemed whenever she had an idea about a character she would write all that down and then conform it into the story. Her characters began to feel like real people and that is how she would talk about them. She would talk with her friends about the character as if these four women were also a part of her life. In a big way, they were. Going out with her friends would sometimes take second place to writing and finishing the novel. Frazer desires to create characters and situations that are relatable and real. She feels that some authors don’t create these types of situations, and therefore the reader really doesn’t get to know the characters as well as the author had intended. Frazer uses her unique style, her fashion sense, and real life experiences to give the reader a clear picture of who the character really is. The novel is inspired by friends and family and the stories she would hear. No one character is based on any particular person, but Frazer wanted the characters to feel real. Her novel is adult fiction with many elements of comedy, romance and suspense. Frazer herself has been influenced by many authors including Omar Tyree, author of “Flyy Girl” and Sheila Copeland author of the “Chocolate Star” series. Frazer hopes to inspire people as these authors have inspired her. “My love of writing and reading came at an early age,” says Frazer. “I love the books where you can just get lost in the story and the characters and never want to put the book down. I hope to do this with my own book.” Frazer is a unique writer that likes to include a lot of drama and action into the scenes of her novel. She uses a lot of dialogue as well, allowing the reader to know exactly how the characters are feeling and thinking. “Fast Lane” is currently available for sales at lulu.com You can learn more about Shakeera Frazer and “Fast Lane” as well as her upcoming works at www.shakeerafrazer.com

Feelings about “Precious” / PUSH
After seeing the film “Precious” based on the novel Push I had mixed feelings. I read the novel Push when I was 14 years old and in the 9th grade and I couldn’t understand what I was reading but I was fascinated. The issues brought up in the book were ones I had never heard of, couldn’t relate to, and were so different than what I was used to reading, but I was still intrigued. As I have gotten older and grown over the years I realized more and more what I was re… Continue

HELP WANTED
Almost every woman I know is unhappy with her relationship or can’t find their “Mr. Right”. They complain about constantly attracting the wrong type of men. The men they attract have kids with “Baby Mama Drama”, they lie, cheat, are unemployed, or have their priorities screwed up. Many of my female friends are in relationships that they know are not good for them and instead of leaving they stay and try to change their mate, this is wasting both their time and their mates time… Continue

Can Your Accomplishments Outweigh the Color of Your Skin?
African Americans have overcome many trials and tribulations do to our wonderful shades of brown skin tones. We have often not been afforded certain opportunities or held back from opportunities just because of the color of our skin. There was a time, not that many years ago that there were clubs, facilities, bathrooms, and even forms of public transportation that were reserved for “Whites Only” and displayed signs such as “No Coloreds A… Continue

When is it OK to Tell a Lie?
Is it ever okay to tell a lie? Even if it’s a white lie? White lies are said to be minor lies which could be considered to be harmless, or even beneficial, in the long term. White lies are also considered to be used for “greater good”. Is this really true? What is “greater good” and who defines that? What is considered my “greater good” may not be yours? And in turn people may get hurt from small “minor white lies”. Is a lie justified depending on the context in… Continue
