Shametra McGregor was born and raised in Austin, Texas. She
believes there can never be a testimony without a test.
“Through life
adversities I learned to express my deepest most inner thoughts in my
diary," she says of her writing philosophy. "When I needed comfort
pen and paper became my best friends. During a recent restoration
period I discovered how healing presented itself, forgiveness became
available and faith has been restored.”
Strength, love, and peace are the qualities that Shametra derives from
writing poetry. She decided long ago not to become a victim of
circumstance and in taking on this philosophy; she found total
happiness through an intimate relationship with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Shametra’s first poem was entitled, "Grass". Daily she is reminiscent
about this poem, which she wrote while sitting in the lush, green
grass. Her next accomplishment was having her self-entitled
poem, “Momma’s love” published in “Tower of Faith” in 2003. During her
journey, Shametra has become a mentor, and has sought to inspire
and touch the hearts of those she encounters. Shametra McGregor
published her first book, “Chronicles of a Mended Heart” with Author
House in June 2008 after eight years of research and continuously
writing until the wee hours of the night.
Shametra says, “It’s so funny,
I can recall times when I would pull over on a side street, because I
had a poem in my head and I had to get it on paper.” Since then
Shametra has been networking with other writers and finally stepping to the mic.
Shametra finds so much joy volunteering in her
community. Being naturally studious, she is interested in a factual
understanding of the mysteries of life. Through her journey she seeks
to encourage and love others.
