Yvette has grown to love go-go music, a wonderful byproduct of making the DMV home. Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, Yvette graduated with a BA in English from Xavier University of Louisiana and an MA in English from University of Maryland, College Park. She currently teaches composition courses at two local colleges. Two sons awe and inspire her. A freelance writer, essayist, memoirist and poet, she experiments with form and sometimes weaves verse into her creative nonfiction.
