About Cloris La Rue'
Cloris La Rue’s writings are purposed to empower the spirit as well as encourage, enlighten and inspire people to become better in recognizing the significance of remaining true to one's self.

Raised in the small town of West Columbia, Texas, Ms. La Rue’ was privileged enough to witness life in its simplest form where most of the residents were related in some way and everyone seemed to know one another. One of the many advantages of being raised in a small town is that it taught Cloris "good old" southern hospitality values and the importance of unconditional love.
No longer defined by the perception of what others believe she should be; but only defined by what God has ordained her to be. She embraces her kinky roots and caramel skin realizing that she has been birthed to awaken her generation to not only understand the importance of connecting with inner self but more so to learn one's purpose for living. She has come to learn that although many women are broken and defined by their circumstances, the act of "overcoming" will unveil many layers allowing the light of one's spirit to shine through as one excels through the process of evolution.
