She created the story character Makeda Tene in a story she wrote and illustrated in 1981 for a children's literature course she took at Augusta University. In 2007, this story, titled just One more Little Minute, became her first published children's book, now followed by SHE IS SO RUDE! In SHE IS SO RUDE!, Makeda Tene is so proud of how polite she is. Showing good manners is very important to her. That is why Makeda had a problem when her mother invited to their house a young girl whom Makeda considers to be so obviously rude. Why couldn't her mother invite someone polite like her? Is there a lesson to be learned?
