Erica Jones Massey’s love of writing comes from watching her mom Gloria Jones write and perform poetry. Although she did not inherit her mom’s penchant for the spoken word, she fell in love with speaking via graphite to paper. Her inaugural collection of poetry Unbagged explores the themes of love, motherhood, friendship, and loss.
