Aken Vivian Wariebi is an
avid reader and writer and
the latter began more
frequently since grade
school. A graduate from
both Rutgers and Syracuse
Universities, respectively, she
never left a book nor a pen
behind. Today, a Poet and
Advocate for the most
vulnerable, Ms. Wariebi finds
joy in inspiring and helping
others in any positive way
that she can. Some say her
Poems speak to their heart
and soul and for Ms. Wariebi
life speaks to her pen. Others
describe her writings as life
short stories. No matter how
it is felt, Ms. Wariebi speaks to
your heart and soul from
hers and hopes that all can
find a little more light along
their journey of life in her
work as she has in her
writings. She is originally from
Monrovia,
Liberia
and
currently resides in the USA.
