Georgia Stewart McDade, a Louisiana native who has lived in Seattle more than half her life. Reading and writing have been very important as far back as she can remember. As a youngster she wrote and produced plays for her siblings and neighbors and collaborated with church youth to write plays for special occasions. After earning a Bachelor of Arts from Southern University, Master of Arts from Atlanta University, and Ph. D. from University of Washington, the English major spent more than thirty years teaching at Tacoma Community College as well as a number of other institutions on all levels. As a charter member of the African-American Writers’ Alliance (AAWA), McDade began reading her stories in public in 1991. She credits AAWA with making her regularly write poetry. For decades she has written poems inspired by art at such sites as Gallery 110, Seattle Art Museum, and Columbia City Gallery. She did editorials for Pacic Newspapers, especially the South District Journal, for four years. She volunteers as a reporter at community radio station KBCS (91.3 FM). Convinced all of us can learn to write well, McDade conducts a variety of writing workshops for all ages. “Good writing can force us to think and think critically; we can theorize, organize, analyze, and synthesize better,” says she. A prolific writer, she has works in AAWA anthologies I Wonder as I Wander, Gifted Voices, Words? Words! Words, and Threads. Her works include Travel Tips for Dream Trips, questions and answers about her six-month, solo trip around the world; Outside the Cave, a collection of poetry; and numerous essays, stories, and poems . Among her several writing projects are the biography of her high school principal and journals kept during her travels.weniger sehen
