Macnea Mackey Harrington (Maya Lee Sanchez (Wife) )Hola!
My name is Macnea! M. Mackey Harrington.
My character is the Wife.
Let me share a little about my life.
Everywhere I go,
I learn the stories of those,
I get to know.
I have nine siblings and a host of poetic writings.
I lived a life that was fostered; however,
From pained to empowered is on my roster.
I say prayers,
For potential nightmares,
Of course the waking kind,
That poison patience, and worry time.
I enjoy singing, dancing, writing, speaking: I am practicing with my art performing.
Coupled with language learning, I enjoy impacting through gratitude’s earnings.
Blessed is your light.
Only the best for the best!
Excellence in sight,
Resilience to the test.
