Tashena McLaughlin is an 18-year-old writer from the beautiful island of Jamaica, with a heart full of emotions and a pen that never stays still. Born on July 1, 2007, Tashena began writing as a way to express the words she often left unsaid, the feelings too deep for conversation but perfect for poetry.

When she’s not pouring her soul into stanzas, she enjoys escaping into the world of anime, K-dramas, and novels, always finding inspiration in the stories others tell. Music is her heartbeat, books are her escape, and love in all its messy, magical forms is her muse.

A future accountant with a creative spirit, she believes you can balance both numbers and narratives.

Her published works include The Words Left Unsaid and Crazy Love, two deeply personal collections that explore heartbreak, healing, and the journey back to self.

This is only the beginning of her story.
