Featured Author  Bio  (Samantha T. Roden-Levy)
A Plan And A Purpose
Houston, TX -- May 13,2009-- How many children have to die in the inner city before America's
leaders take notice?

Poet and community activist Samantha T. Roden-Levy sheds light on the plight of those who suffer
needlessly in the inner city. Her book, "The Illumination of My Soul" is a collection of powerful poems
written about her struggle as a strong-willed young woman who confronted a society that shuns
impoverished minorities. Samantha has been a featured poet and keynote speaker at Prairie View
A&M University, Texas Southern University, Aldine Y.O.U.T.H Center, and countless other bookstores,
community centers, organizations, and literary events.

Samantha has received numerous awards from government officials, prestigious universities, and
organizations for her dedication to the community. Her poetry is published in several different
mediums including newspapers, web related news media, and her work was first anthologized in a
University of Houston publication when she was just eleven years old.

Samantha is a prestigious Red Rose Scholar recipient from the University Of Houston-Downtown, she
is an advocate for domestic violence victims, and she was recently chosen to recite her poetry in an
instructional DVD and CD for a poetry workshop in Austin, Texas. Her poetry readings are receiving
newsworthy buzz around the country.

Austin L. Allen, professor of history at the University of Houston-Downtown and author of "Imposing
Sovereignty, Containing Slavery: Jacksonian Jurisprudence and the Origins of the Dred Scott Case,
says, "In this collection of penetrating poems, Samantha Roden-Levy explores what it means to be a
woman and an American in a world defined by race even when none of our categories seem to fit. I
look forward to rereading this fine book and to reflecting on its contents for years to come."

Violence, poverty, racism, spirituality, hope, and social acceptance are topics that Roden-Levy
embraces in order to tear down the partition that separates the haves from the have-nots.

Samantha T. Roden-Levy’s book, "The Illumination of My Soul" can be purchased at http:// www.
Jolanipublications.com, http://www.Amazon.com and other fine online bookstores and literary events.
