Souraya was raised in a
relatively low-income household, by a single mother, with one younger sister.
Originally from Cleveland, OH, she lived in Atlanta for a couple of years, and
has resided in Las Vegas, NV since 2003. She endured a lot of trauma early in life, and throughout her early adulthood. It was during these times that she would often ask God exactly how strong she needed to be because it seemed as if the blows kept coming without any time for a breath in between. Throughout
school, although “gifted” academically, she experienced many problems stemming
from the traumatic events in her life, including drugs and alcohol, promiscuity,
associating with the wrong people, near death experiences, and becoming a single parent herself at age 16. She used these experiences to fuel her love for
writing. She began writing poetry and short stories early in school, and even
had the divine opportunity to be introduced to Maya Angelou in elementary
school. All of her life’s events are depicted in her debut self-help book, entitled, When
is Strong – Strong Enough….How To Push Through the Pain.
