Baugh, Ayana Sala

About Ayana Sala Baugh Well, let's see...I was born on December 5, 1975 in Jamaica, Queens New York. I began writing letters to God and poetry when I was about 14 years old. Writing allowed me to express all of myself. I was a very shy person around people I didn't know. However, when I would write, I would let it all out on paper. Writing became my true passion. My first and middle names "Ayana" means beautiful flower and my middle name "Sala" means loving and tender. When I was a child, I didn't like my names too much. I guess it's because kids and teachers would always mispronounce my name
