Pernitha TinsleyPernitha Tinsley is a graduate of California State University Los Angeles, where she obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice Administration. Miss Tinsley is also obtained a Fingerprint Classification Certificate, and is currently woking toward becoming a Crime Analyst. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California in one of the most troubled and dangerous areas of South Central LA, Miss Tinsley was not only forced to watch families grieve over the death of loved ones killed at the hands of gun violence, but she also painfully watched a close childhood friend endure child abuse at the hands of both her mother and stepfather, prior to her passing in a car accident. Marked by emotional and psychological scars from all that she witnessed as a child, Miss Tinsley grew to become an advocate against child abuse. Miss Tinsley aims to bring awareness to child abuse by publishing novels that confront the issue and can be used in the classroom, as well as in training programs in institutions that work with families of children who are being abused.
