Mina's Joint (Triple Crown Publications Presents)
Growing up, Keisha Ervin received numerous accolades and awards for her writing skills. She has been honing those skills and practicing her art since childhood. However, by the time she reached her turbulent adolescent years, fate interceded, altering her childhood dreams. At the age of 18, Ervin experienced first-hand the results of teen pregnancy and her literary career would be a dream deferred. Refusing to become a victim of circumstance, Ervin buckled down and analyzed the direction of her life. Accepting motherhood as a blessing in disguise, she was forced to mature. Realizing that she had another life depending on her for survival, Ervin cleaned up her act, severed street ties and made the successful transition to motherhood and author. Hailing from the Midwest - St. Louis, Missouri to be exact - Ervin is determined to bring more long-deserved recognition to her birthplace, just as rappers Nelly, The St. Lunatics and Chingy have done. Keisha Ervin is the Essence Best-Selling Author of Me & My Boyfriend, Chyna Black, Mina's Joint, Hold U Down and Torn.
