Her writings are raw, real, surreal, and filled with all the details of every aspect of life. Poetry is her passion.
She is also a Thespian. Theatre is her love. Her family is what makes her heart beat. Renee has been married

Ms. Matthews-Jackson is grateful to God for her many talents and gifts.

is over seven-thousand poems and building.
Renee has re-enrolled in college after an extended hiatus. After two years, she
has changed her major to Education with a minor in Theatre. She is extremely excited to have returned to school
after being with her grandchildren, as she has been caregiver for them for the past twelve years.

and in the process of producing several 10 Minute Plays as well as One Acts.
Look for Renee at poetry recitals, staged readings, and performances, even with her hectic school studies
taking a major portion of her time... She is still very much involved in her community, always seen and heard!
NEXT SHOW:
Stay Tuned
The stage has no windows or doors
Nothing but painted tiles on its floors
But the characters that a good actor portrays
Will be with you throughout your days...

Renee portrays a homeless woman named Issie.
"I sleep in a Jag, ain't so bad off. The house
is abandoned, but it got boards on the windows and doors, can't get in there, it'd be warmer, but at least the Jag keeps the
wind off. I ain't on drugs, don't drink, don't prostitute... I do plenty of beggin' though, sorry for that.
Gotta do what I can to survive until times git better for me. Don't feel sorry for me. I don't need your sympathy.
A dollar or two would work just fine. Now, take them damn cameras off me please! I don't do well on photographs."
They Are Not Invisible

Using Your Talents
To Create Your Livelihood
God gave us all a purpose for exisiting. I know my purpose is
to glorify God. To discover the talents in our children, and pull those talents out of them. My purpose is also to
allow my Godlight to shine by using my gifts and talents. The ability to touch others with my acting and writing skills
is my greatest blessing.
