I’ve published 3 books and I write poetry.

The Best Advice Imani Has Received
What are some of your hobbies?
I write and I'm currently getting into kickboxing. I also play video games (Nintendo is the console of choice).
Do you have any pets? Tell us about them!
I have 3 dogs of my own and my roommate has a dog, too! So with 4 dogs and 4 turtles, my home is a zoo.
What is your Myers-Briggs Type?
ENFP - Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Prospecting. According to 16Personalities.com, "Campaigners (ENFPs) are true free spirits – outgoing, openhearted, and open-minded. With their lively, upbeat approach to life, they stand out in any crowd. But even though they can be the life of the party, Campaigners don’t just care about having a good time. These personality types run deep – as does their longing for meaningful, emotional connections with other people."
