Keisha Allen-Smith

S. Renee Allen is a mother, educator and an advocate for healing survivors and consumers of mental health services. Her hobbies include poetry, traveling, and spending time with family. She is a testimony to women who try to survive as an adult while dealing with the issues of low self-esteem, and the difficult challenge of rising from victim to survivor despite the social conditioning of others around her. She has survived and beat the odds.

Dance with Danger is her very first published work and is a memoir of her personal experience of being in a verbally abusive relationship with her high school sweetheart.

Her book of poems, "One with Him: Words of a Healing Woman", is available on Kindle.
