Racheal Joseph is actress turned writer. Born in the late 1950’s. Her love of poetry began in her late teens when she discovered Maya Angelou. “Poetry at school had been made so dull and complicated,” says Racheal, but  Angelou’s work was  accessible, a joy to read and to hear performed.

​

Inspired by Angelou and many others, Racheal decided to document her own personal experiences as a child growing up in both London and Antigua via a collection of poetry in her first book, “Little Brown Girl,” published in 2016.  Continuing to share stories with her second publication, a compilation of stories, “Tales From A West Indian Childhood.” published in 2020. A deeper dive into her childhood as a mixed heritage child in a land far from what she was accustom.

​

Racheal hopes her work will inspire others and speaks to people in a way they can identify with.
