Time to Heal

An event for women of all ages who desire to reconnect with their inner Goddess. Come out and enjoy an evening of poetry reading, journaling, and realigning your Womb Chakra. Featuring local author and poetess, PurVanila.

The author, artistically known as PurVanila, is a native of the Washington, DC Metropolitan area and currently resides in Charles County Maryland. She’s been featured at Busboys and Poet in Shirlington as well as the inaugural Author’s and Appetizers hosted by Virginia’s first black poet laureate, KaNikki Jakarta, at the Athenaeum in Alexandria, VA.

She is an experienced blogger and Certified Transformation Coach who holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Master of Art in Education. Her podcast series PurVanila Poetry and Conversations was launched on Anchor in 2020 following the release of her first chap book, “PurVanila Pearls”, the same year and the recently released anthology, “Time to Talk”.

Her love for the creative arts developed in her early youth from baking with her grandmother, singing in the choir to crafting lyrics and poems as a pre-teen. This love continued to flourish through her adult life as she learned to turn her failed relationship

experiences into lessons for herself and others through her counsel and poetry.
