Shametra McGregor was born and raised in Austin, Texas. She believes there can never be a testimony without a test. “Through life’s adversities I learned to express my deepest most inner thoughts in my diary," she says of her writing philosophy. "When I needed comfort, pen and paper became my best friends. During a recent restoration period I discovered how healing presented itself, forgiveness became available and faith was restored."Shametra has been writing since the age of 10. The 35 year old says that facing adversity is what introduced her to the world of writing. An English project during her freshman year in high school showed her that writing could be therapeutic. Since that time, she has discovered her God given talent, and has found strength, love and peace through her writing. Even though her young life was filled with pain, she now experiences total happiness, and has developed an intimate relationship with her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. She adds, “though I still go through some struggles in life, God sees my imperfections and loves me through them all.”Shametra’s first poem was entitled, "Grass". Daily she is reminiscent about this poem, which she wrote while sitting in the lush, green grass. Her next accomplishment was having her self-entitled poem, “Momma’s Love” published in “Tower of Faith” in 2003. Currently Shametra is working on her second novel, “Another Day’s Journey – a Collaboration of poems and daily inspirationals.During her journey, Shametra has become a mentor, and has sought to inspire and touch the hearts of those she encounters. Shametra McGregor published her first book, “Chronicles of a Mended Heart” with Author House in June 2008. This was a product of eight years of research and continuous writing, even into the wee hours of the night.Shametra says, “It’s so funny, I can recall times when I would pull over on a side street because I had a poem in my head and I had to get it on paper.” Since then, Shametra has been networking with other writers and finally stepping to the mic. She finds so much joy volunteering in her community. Being naturally studious, she is interested in a factual understanding of the mysteries of life. Through her journey she seeks to encourage and love others. Her advice to anyone wanting to become a writer: “Chase your dreams and eventually you will catch a star. Be all that you can be and know that you are blessed with that talent. Utilize it and keep pressing on.”
