So, who is Michele Grant? Michele Grant grew up wanting to be a combination of Maya Angelou, Perry Mason, and Eartha Kitt. Deciding that law books were dusty and boas not practical for everyday wear, she's still clinging to that Maya Angelou dream. When not laboring away on the keyboard, she can be found trying to channel her "inner B. Smith", growing roses, trying new recipes and wondering if just one more throw pillow works with that sofa? She has Ella Fitzgerald and Kanye West on the same playlist in her iPod, she's affectionately been given the nickname "Shopping Queen", and there is not a single fall Sunday where her TV isn't tuned in to an NFL game. Contradictory yet contemporary, Michele sees the humor in all things and shares that with her readers.
