Jala Powell was born July 30, 1999, in Detroit, Michigan, but she has been an Indianapolis native for the majority of her life. Jala is an educator, a poet, and a newly published author. She has been working with children and youth for more than 6 years. She’s been writing poetry since middle school and has recently started performing this year at local open mic nights. After receiving much love from Indy locals, Jala decided to publish her first book, The Sun’s Flower. The Sun’s Flower is 20 poems released on her 20th birthday, this past July. The poems are a reflection on her life and her walk back to her faith in the past year. Jala hoped to inspire and reach someone with her words. She’s put her heart, soul, and mind between two covers for the world to read. The book is made to make you cry, laugh, smile and think. Her intentions were to relate and let someone know she knows that feeling that they’re experiencing. Her book touches on her childhood feelings, her preteen years, some puppy love she experienced and her walk back to her faith. 20 years, 20 poems, a lifetime wrapped into 69 pages. Currently, Jala is an undergrad studying psychology. She also works full-time as an educator at a local charter school. She continues to write while being a dog-mom to her German shepherd, Broly. All at her new age of 20.
