About the Book

A book of poetry about life, love and personal development. Chicago Poet Savvy Brown takes you through her life journey including a childhood including domestic violence, teenage pregnancy, and failed relationships. Her poetry eloquently depicts a tale of discovering personal growth through spiritual enlightenment and education. The book is sure to inspire anyone, especially those who have been through troubling times and those who have yet to overcome difficulty.
About the Author: Savvy Brown was born Shona Snowden to working class parents on the south side of Chicago in 1975. She attended parochial school from first through ninth grade; then transferred to the Chicago Public School system. In her youth she witnessed domestic violence and drug use in the home. She was the subject of very harsh criticism from her mother who had good intentions but was misguided. Savvy struggled to hide her pain and maintain an appearance of normalcy. She graduated from Morgan Park High School and went on to attend the University of Illinois at Chicago. She got pregnant at age 18 which proved to be both a scary and exciting experience. Despite giving birth to her daughter in her second year of college; she graduated from UIC with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Applied Psychology. After school she got an apartment and a job and tried to navigate the dating scene. She experienced a series of failed relationships before opting to try celibacy. She obtained a Masters of Arts degree in Psychology from National Louis University a few years later and continued her career as a state employee. Along the way, she used poetry as a form of expression and therapy to help her cope with difficult times. In 2004, she was baptized as a born again Christian. In the same year, she met and married her soul mate. A few years later, her loving and supportive husband encouraged her to share her poetry with the world. She began attending open mics/ poetry slams and performing on stage. Publishing her work was just a natural progression in the process her evolution. Her first book, "When I Put My Bags Down..." gives readers a glimpse into her personal struggle and process of healing.
