Crystal Marie is currently a marketing professional and graduate student at the University of Southern California. She first discovered her ability to provoke thought with a pen when as a high school student, her letter decrying the Confederate flag was published in a conservative South Carolina newspaper. Reader response ranged from claims that Crystal Marie was unAmerican to a college scholarship offer! Since then, her work has appeared in The Hilltop, Urbanfaith.com, and on her own website, awordorthree.com. Her experiences as a teacher, preacher's daughter, non-profit fundraiser, Howard U graduate, YouTube commenter, world traveler, actress, self-proclaimed liberal hippie, and Jesus follower influence her witty yet sharp perspective.
Crystal Marie's writing covers a variety of topics but her favorites are politics, etiquette, and the role race plays in our everyday lives. In her spare time she enjoys learning more about her new home, Los Angeles; reminiscing about great times in Washington, DC, and practicing safe entry and exit from the hammock on her balcony.
I welcome your ideas, thoughts, criticisms, questions, gifts, flowers, chocolate....
