Sacred Secrets (Barker) - Author Bio

Author Bio
Though she is the creator of this work, Verianne Barker never refers to herself as a writer or an author. She just sees herself as someone who has been blessed to be able to express her thoughts in writing, when she feels that itch to talk it out by writing.

Over the years she has responded to that itch by writing about several issues that span several genres, from poetry to politics but has never felt the compulsion to publish, until faced with the social tragedy that is this story.

Verian, as she prefers to be called because it is the original spelling of her name, lives in South Carolina but is originally from Guyana, in South America. Before settling in South Carolina, she lived in New York and New Jersey and worked in several major cities where she started volunteering as a grammar, writing skills, and general educator in helping to equip basic academic skills to those in need.

It was in one of these classes that she met the Connie, the subject of Sacred Secrets: Shedding the Shackles of my Shame, and was so sympathetic with the story that was her life, that she agreed to help her document its details her to help her to overcome the pain and tell the story that Connie felt would provide the answers to most  of the questions so many in her generation and the generation following hers, still have.
