Abrea Armstrong

The seed and bloom of The Camel City, Abrea is the product of the lens created by her beloved hometown & her experiences outside of that box. While studying at Salem Academy, Abrea began creative writing at age 12 which soon matured into a passion for poetry as she was encouraged to embrace her artistic side by her family.

After an abrupt collegiate move to NYC, coupled with an undying love for Hip-Hop & a dedication to a positive contribution to the African-American legacy in the Arts, Abrea completed her first poetry manuscript “Ferry Tales” spurred by the winning of a Poetry Writing Grant. Having completed her BA in Spanish from St. John’s University as well as freelancing for major music journalistic outlets, she has returned to NC as a Corporate Fellow to earn her MA in Management from Wake Forest University. Abrea will continue figure modeling and writing to constantly facilitate the creation of beautiful art.
