Both have been placed in the school system
and libraries around town.
She has had a number of poems appear in magazines,
anthologies and new papers where some have been recognized with
awards for their inspirational, even motivational message.
She was presented with a commendation for the
City and City Council during Black History Month in 2005.
She continues to provide the Lansing State Journal
with an article, book review or word of inspiration on a monthly
basis. She co-hosts “poetry slams” held at various locations
throughout the Greater Lansing area.
Freeman looks forward to expanding her
Poetree-N-Motion TV program which shares information of
community events, history tidbits, book reviews and has guests
with current community issues. It airs in Lansing on Comcast channel 16 -Thursday @ 3:30PM
and East Lansing channel 30 WELM on Tuesday @ 7:00PM. She is also a talented musical lyricist, hoping to have her
work recorded in the near future.
Presently, Freeman is in the completion stage
of her first fiction novel-a project in conjunction with a movie
producer. This
novel—Wild,
Untamed Michigan: The Way It Was—is
scheduled to hit the stores in early or mid 2006, with the
second of the “Poetry, She Wrote” series—following
close behind.
Freeman thoroughly enjoys writing and sharing
her poetry through presentations at special annual luncheons,
tributes honoring the leadership of community and churches, and
other venues throughout the region.
She honestly feels her words will benefit all who read
them-gently touching, softly soothing, delightfully awakening,
enthusiastically illuminating and fervently healing.
As a grandparent of three grandsons, Freeman
sees the need for help within the community.
She volunteers for readings and events throughout the
Lansing School District. She
works on projects with the Michigan Million Women Movement that
sprang out of the MWM (Million Women March) of 1997.
She’s a member of several supporting organizations,
such as Delores Thornton’s Marguerite Press, Disilgold Soul
and Publishing and Sisterhood of The Written Word. She also
sings with a 35 voice group, who continues to keep the Negro
Spirituals alive-The Earl Nelson Singers-directed by Verna
Holley.
An alumnus of Northwood University of Midland
and former Financial Analyst for General Motors, Freeman
continues to reside in Lansing, Michigan with her husband,
Attorney Myron S. Freeman Sr.
She is proud of her three adult children, one of whom has
attained stardom as an actress on Broadway.
