TAYLOR resides in Richmond, Virginia, the Civil Wars second and most permanent capital of the Confederacy. She was born the same year as the U.S Supreme Courts landmark decision, Brown v. the Board of Education.
In 1966, she was one of six black students who integrated Albert H. Hill Junior High. As a result of legislated busing, her last two years of senior high school were spent in the newly annexed area of the city of Richmond.
At Huguenot High, she claimed a place in the schools history as its first black varsity cheerleader, first black homecoming queen and first black to have a regular column, Yonnie Bees Bag, in the student-run newspaper.
Y.B. Taylor received her B.A. from the University of Virginia, 19-years after Walter N. Ridley became the universitys first African American to earn a degree and 4-years after undergraduate admissions was fully open to women.
A temperamental writer, she enjoys expressing herself in written words. History, personal challenges and experiences as well as stories told to her by older family members and friends are reflected in her writing.показать меньше
