Biography
The Story Behind author Felice Bois
"In the third grade, I was illiterate, didn't graduate to the fourth grade because I couldn't read or write. I could barely write letters of the alphabet - words or write a sentence. All I knew as a little girl was street life." ~ Felice Bois
Journey through the prolific writings and captivating performances of this rising star, known for her unique blend of meekness, storytelling, and a calm spirit, all under the coveted trademark "Modern Day Black Momma®," solidifying her place as a highly esteemed BMI songwriter.
She is a firm believer in the almighty Gospel of Jesus Christ, a playwright, aspiring filmmaker, peace activist, a celebrated poet, a spoken word artist, transformational speaker, the CEO and Founder of her media publishing company Modern Day Black Momma® Records; some might say spoken-word virtuoso. That's just the tip of her cache of talents.
Her pen name is Felice Bois, an Oakland, California native whose life challenges in her childhood, as a single mother and a Black woman could no longer go hidden or unspoken. Despite being abused in foster homes while her biological mother was unable to care for her and her siblings, and her father, an infamous and well-known pimp plied his trade on the streets of Oakland and elsewhere, Felice still somehow occasionally saw light at the end of a very dark tunnel.
Rather than living, she merely existed in impoverished ghettos in Southern California, Oakland, and smaller Bay Area cities, becoming a teenage mother by a man who didn't love her. It would have been easy for Felice to become paralyzed in victim-hood, but she has chosen, and continues to choose to flourish as a victor. By turning her pains into passion, and crying into creativity, Felice emerges as a critical social voice with an ever-evolving penchant for personal refinement, proving to be dynamic, galvanizing, and inspiring.
Felice is deeply invested in the emotional wholeness and spiritual prosperity of young Black men in particular to help change the trajectory of those headed for disaster. But, that in no way dampens her admitted role as an unapologetic feminist for all women.
Her highly acclaimed first album Gen Eyes Wide, barely begins to scratch the surface of the fervor and flair which lies beneath.
Whether working as a job corp participant, health care worker, customer service representative, real estate agent, housing and corporate administrator, theater director, mother or wife, Felice Bois is a powerhouse of a human being, a misplaced personality, and a woman on the rise.
