A Little About Me
Reginald Andah was born and raised in Houston, Texas. Even at a young age, he always had a creative mind and an interest in learning. Both attributes allowed him to obtain a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in English from Texas State University. He also acquired his Master of Arts degree in English and Creative Writing from Southern New Hampshire University while becoming a certified teacher. However, his accomplishment, along with others, could not have come to fruition without God.
Growing up in a low-income household with his mother was a struggle that developed his resilience and adversity. His uncle and other family members frequently assisted with his mom's financial difficulties. However, it took its toll. Determined to take care of her only son at the time, his mother had to move from shelter to shelter as employment was difficult. Due to their unfavorable conditions, school and social life were a challenge for him. Though he excelled in academics, moving from district to district made him isolated and an easy target for being antagonized as the new student in his classes.
His teenage years were more troublesome since his mother's mental health started to decline, and he now had a brother. Thankfully, his uncle continued to help him whenever he needed, even though he could no longer support his mom. Though times were hard, Reginald's faith allowed him to persevere and make a life of his own. He supported his family by procuring his own job while going to school. Though he always had a passion for creating, he never thought of making it a career goal. It wasn't until he graduated from high school and took college courses dedicated to writing that he realized his passion for storytelling. Ever since, he has been inspired to create stories centered on faith-based morals to invigorate positive change in others.
