Toni Chevelle

INTRODUCING TONI CHEVELLE
Talk about humble beginnings; my initial phase of life was the epitome of humility. I was born to a 22 year old single mother, in a tiny medical clinic in the rural town of Hollandale, MS. I was raised on Highway 454 in a small community called Swiftwater (MS), on a farm known as Hollywood Plantation.
Our backyard was a cottonfield. Growing up, I ate meals out of recycled aluminum pie tins and drank koolaide and water out of repurposed jelly jars. I always thought we ate and drank out of those because it was fun and unique; it wasn't until I grew up that I understood it was because we were poor. Hmm...
My education came from right here in the MS Delta; elementary through high school at Norma C. O'Bannon School on Raceway Road, where I was Class Salutatorian; and college at Mississippi Valley State University in Itta Bena, MS, where I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Speech Communication. Currently I am pursuing my Master of Science in Media Management-Social Media Management through Arkansas State University. My writing began as imaginative play with my sister as we played with our Barbies; later, in high school, my first written assignment would be the catalyst for my love and passion for writing.

***

Reader Reviews
"I wholeheartedly believe that when you have a talent, all it takes is a bit of hard work to get it seen. It's amazing that these poems throughout the years of Ms. Chevelle's life have seemed to age gracefully and still, somehow, are conveyed as a piece of literature to so new. Be ready to feel different types of emotions as Ms. Toni Chevelle has the ability to capture you in each word she writes!" - Zoe Dee

"I hate I took so long to place my first order. I'm all up in this Kindle, reading your poetic works of art. I must say, you titled this collection perfectly!" - Margaret Blair

Til' Death:
Lessons from Life, Love, & "I Do"

On December 21, 1989, recording artist Miki Howard’s smash hit single “Love Under New Management” was released (coincidentally, the same day my awesome Mom passed away from cancer). This song has always been a favorite of mine, particularly because of it’s first line: ‘Experience is a good teacher…’This phrase is more than just lyrics from a Billboard #2 R&B single; it is a fact of life. The best and longest lasting lessons are those learned from actual experience, from the first-hand hands-on involvement in a situation or circumstance. And so it has been with my life. As painful and as stressful and as disheartening as many of my life experiences have been, those have been the times that have not only made me stronger, but have taught me so much about life and about myself…Especially when it comes to love and relationships, particularly marriage. Each involvement left me with just a little more knowledge and awareness of self and what I need and want. By the time I finished my 13-year ‘tour-of-duty’ as a wife, I had earned a Master’s degree in Self-Love & Personal Necessities. I had also come to a startling realization about myself…“Til Death: Lessons From Life, Love, & I DO” is the cathartic catalog of my life experience as it relates to love and relationships, and the sometimes enigmatic roller coaster known as marriage. It is my hope and prayer that what is shared will help current and future wives find their best selves and be the wives that the Most High intended them to be. “I Am Fighting For My Healing, And I Ain’t Gonna Fight Fair.”
