Chante-Charmane originally hails from West Philadelhpia where she lived with her parents and two younger brothers. Since elementary school, she's always responded to the question, "What would you like to be when you grow up?", with varying answers, from dancer and singer, to lawyer. But as young as middle school aged, Chante began writing poetry, songs, and fiction based stories and immediately she knew writing would always be an outlet for her creativity. In school, English was always a favorite subject and as time progressed, writing expanded past fiction and fun only. In adulthood, she has used her pen for a range of musical, professional, religious and personal pages and now finally she has published her first co-authored poetry book, Love,Faith & Survival.
