Gloria Wade Dillon has a tee shirt which says, “I was born and raised in Zanesville, OH, but grew up at Central State University!” One of seven children, she began writing poetry and short stories at a very young age. One of her greatest accomplishments was being selected as a school librarian as a third grader in elementary school. Her love of books and story telling were nurtured and encouraged by her parents. Each Christmas, a book was a prized and cherished gift! Her real life writings, be it a book, a short story, poetry, or an affirmation will draw you into her circle of truth, compassion and healing for the soul!

No truer words have been spoken about this grateful small town girl, proud HBCU graduate, wife, mother, grandmother, sister, auntie, confidante, friend, preacher, teacher, singer, and writer.
