Writer/Producer: Elizabeth "Liz" Turner, on "VeeVee's POV (November 18th)

Elizabeth Turner was born and raised in the beautiful state of Winston-Salem, North Carolina.  She is the youngest of 5 children whom were all raised in Happy Hill Gardens, which were the projects. She had her first child at the age of 17 and from there her life was one rocky road. Today, she is the mother of 3 wonderful children, David 21, Brittany 18 & Eric 14. She also has a grandson, Jayden 14 months old. She left NC back in 2004 headed for Florida to follow an unknown dream.

She has been writing poetry and stories since she was in elementary school. Once she settled in Jacksonville Florida she decided to continue writing and one day decided to write a stage play. At the time she wasn’t sure what she was going to call it but she knew that it was going to be about brotherhood and sisterhood. She has experiences so much in her lifetime including being homeless that she felt the need to try to help at least one person.

Today, she has a 17 cast member play titled “My Brotha-My Sista” that is set to debut in January 2011. The production has been asked to be brought to several states and cities throughout the United States.  This production will be available on DVD as well as a soundtrack that is currently in the production stage as we speak. Also, she has a book of poetry titled “Not Looking Back” that will be available in December.
