Böcker av Ladonna Akens-Elam

My name is LaDonna Akens-Elam. I am 64 years old and I had a stroke 7 years ago. At that time I could not read or write. I have what is called Aphasia. Through speech therapy, much practice, and great friends who taught me about poetry, I am learning to put my words back together.My dad, my family, and church really helped me keep going. I hope this book can help someone find their words as well.I live in Lubbock, Texas for two of my grown children and their families. The other two children live in other states with their families. I went to high school at Rantoul Illinois. Later in life, I went to South Plains College in Levelland, Texas. I began to learn about psychology and sociology. Then I got this wonderful job working for the Chapter 13 Trustee in Lubbock, and I stayed there until I had my stroke, and I was made to retire. I love reading poetry on zoom with friends; I do music on Zoom as well. I love to crochet and read my Bible.
