About the Author

Arose N Daghetto was born and raised in Providence, Rhode Island. She is the youngest of five children. Her performing arts journey began at a very young age. At age nine, she became a classical violinist for her school orchestra for several years. About a year later, Arose wrote her first series of “kiddie skits” about the daily happenings in the schoolyard. Her teacher was so impressed by her works that she granted Arose and her friends some free time in the day to read her short plays to the class.

At age 17, Arose’s play, “Let My People Free!” was selected among four winning plays for the annual George Huston Bass Play-rites Festival at Brown University. The play was based on one slave’s radical plight to flee his master’s plantation while taking as many slaves as possible along with him. Arose worked under her dramaturge for the play, former actress and Providence resident, Sylvia Ann Soars, who worked alongside Esther Rolle, Lou Gossett Jr. and many other headlining celebrities during the 1970’s. Ms. Soars also appeared on several shows during the era, including the hit show “Good Times’.

Arose’s play earned her a place at Brown University’s theatrical history by being the youngest winner ever to win the contest and have a play performed at the Ivy League University. Arose received high praises from the artistic directors of the theater department, which included former Artistic Director Elmo Terry Morgan and Karen Baxter and Marsha Z. West, a prominent Artistic Director for an Off- Broadway multicultural theater in New York City. In addition, Arose also received accolades from other local college professors and high school teachers, the Providence School Board of Education, former city mayor (Vincent Cianci), local newspapers, radio and cable access shows.

Arose holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications. She also has done some post-graduate work in Professional Communications in Worcester, Massachusetts. Some of her poetry was featured a few anthologies through the International House of Poetry and Nobel House. Her short story, “Rendezvous with Poverty” received an honorable mention through the My African Diaspora organization and was featured among an international collection of other upcoming writers entitled, Bloodlines: Tales from the African Diaspora.

Arose N Daghetto continues her enduring love for the literary arts through her Facebook fan page, “Literature Voodoo” which consists of some of her work and others from across the globe, including Africa, Brazil and the Caribbean. She is also on a passionate mission to breathe positive life into the negative images of African-American women through her blog site called The Black Women Are Beautiful Theory. In her blog, Arose reveals the sensitivities of Black women psychologically and emotionally while debunking the age-long myths that’s plagued their beauty for hundreds of years.
