      Even If My Hands Were Full - Sherell Watson

      EVEN IF MY HANDS WERE FULL

      Sherell Watson

      Sherell Watson is a proud Brooklynite. With the intention of eventually saving lives, she started her collegiate career attending the historic Morris Brown College in Atlanta, GA as a biology major before realizing literature could be an equally powerful healer, thus leading Sherell to obtain her Baccalaureate of Arts in English Literature at Benedict College in Columbia, SC. There, she crafted and honed her writing ability while interning for a local newspaper, Black News, and as the Entertainment Editor of The Tiger News, all the while being of service as a proud member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. When she’s not chasing summer with her favorite person, her son, Sherell can be found writing, reading, laughing, and living her best life in her hometown, Brooklyn, NY.
