Poetess Hawwah NofeeyahBorn, Faye Eileen Beard, in Harlem, New York, it was clear from an early age that she was a child of great promise. As a young woman she struggled for a sense of identity in a world that denied the significance of living a life of virtue and spirituaity. Although she demonstrated academic excellence, it never held compelling significance for her. She could not understand having knowledge void of a higher purpose. Those around her said knowledge was to be used to gain economic security and prestige but she was never quite convinced. Instead she found that the pursuit of the Divine and the establishment of a personal relationship with God brought her much joy. At an early age, her perceptions, views and ideas set her apart. As she became older, she grew in understanding. It became clear to her that we all have been given a gift to share in this world and only to the extent that we share it, can it grow, enabling the individual to live purposefully and in self-fulfillment. Acknowledgment of that truth has inspired Faye, spiritually known as Hawwah Nofeeyah, to be faithful to her calling having been blessed with great spiritual insights and penetrating understandings into the human condition. She has found her authentic voice. Read More Read Less
