3375 So, tell us a little bit about your background. Where are you

from?

JA'AE Hello 3375 Magazine! I am Author Ja’ae Quancei. I currently reside in NYC by way of London UK. I am the CEO of ESW Enterprises, a premier Corporate Multi-Media & Publishing Company based in Manhattan. I am also the Founder of the New York Foundation for Abused Girls. A foundation providing support and assistance ito the teenage victims of sexual abuse,

3375 When and why did you begin writing?

JA'AE I began writing poetry at the age of 11. At first it was just a hobby, however by age 14 my friends were paying me to write poems and desiign cards for them! I was making money and a lot of it for a teenager! LOL By the time I was 18 I began perfecting my craft and writing had become a form of release. By my mid 20’s it became a sincere passion! I realized God had Blessed me with a gift and I am humbled and grateful.

3375 What inspired you to write your first book?

JA'AE After years of working with Battered Women and hearing so many horror stories of abuse I gained a deeper understanding about the trials and mental spirals of abused women, The dead look in their eyes and lack of emotion in their voices spoke volumes of Scorned women.

3375 So I have to ask, do you ever experience writer's block? If so,

how do you get through it?

JA'AE Yes actually I have experienced long periods of writer’s block! Ugh!!! It is truly frustrating! One thing about it, you can’t force it. Patience is key and when the evil writer’s block creeps up I simply pray, meditate and wait. Everything is in God’s time.

3375 Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?

JA'AE Writing for me comes natural. The only challenge for me is pacing. My mind is constantly racing and my thoughts reveal themselves with a speed that supersedes the speed of my pen LOL!

3375 So let’s switch gears for a moment. When did you first consider yourself a writer?

JA'AE I first considered myself a writer when I started getting paid for my work. i.e.my poetry, so in actuality I considered myself a poetress plain and simple. Once I ventured off into writing short stories I penned myself a writer.

3375 What book(s) have influenced your life most?

JA'AE The book that has influenced my life most is The Holy Bible. The knowledge, wisdom and understanding I have gained from years of reading and studying the Bible are priceless. It keeps me grounded and focused and constantly reminds me who my Savior is and how much HE loves me. AGAPE love.

3375 What book(s) are you reading now?

JA'AE Currently I am reading a book called Proverbs. It’s a spiritual book that focuses on the lessons in the book of Proverbs from the Holy Bible. It’s quite inspirational and very uplifting. Sometimes I have t take a break from urban literature and become one with my spirit,

3375 Is there someone you consider a mentor?

JA'AE Yes the person I consider a mentor is my Mother! She has always been such an inspiration to both my sister and I. My mother is legally blind, however she runs circles around us all. She never allowed any challenge to halt her progress in life. She faced them head on and exceeded the expectations set forth by society! Not only that the core values and principles she instilled in my sister and I are the same ones she lives by. I love my mom!

3375 What would your ideal career be, if you couldn't be an

author?

JA'AE My ideal career would be a Criminal Defense Attorney as I am passionate about the rights of our minorities sitting in jail with hideous sentences for acts not comparable to those who are killing and raping.

3375 What has surprised you the most about the publishing

industry?

JA'AE What has surprisd me most about the publishing industry is the ease of self-publishing. What seems quite frightening to most is simply an easy process. After a few weeks of research I learned how to self-publish and turn my dreams into my reality.

3375 Do you have any advice for other writers?

JA'AE My advice to other writers is to perfect their craft. WRITE, WRITE, WRITE! Don’t be afraid to pursue your dreams! Don’t just up and quit your day job as you still need revenue to fund your projects. Looking for investors and attempting to convince others is time consuming. Always remember the best investment you can make is in yourself!

Our children are being pimped out and sold into sexual slavery. My foundation provides assistance to these young women as thry ransition back into society. We will offer self-esteem classes and group therapy this fall
