creaTIFF poetry (Tiffany D. Scott) has been writing poetry for over 20 years, and openly performs her confessions at various spoken word, open mic, private and public engagements. She is the author of the book "My Perfectly Imperfect Journey", a collection of confessions about love, pain, erotica, infidelity, joy, death, divorce, abuse, parenthood, and transformation. She's released a POWERFUL cd [My Perfectly Imperfect Journey] with original tracks that take the content of her confessions to another level. Tiffany credits LIFE as her ultimate motivation, and passionately expresses her journey through writing, not only as personal therapy but as a medium to inspire others to GO (don't stop), GLOW (always chin up) and GROW (no regrets or mistakes...only lessons learned) through their journeys.
