Allysha Lynne Hamber is a newly acclaimed author, whose inaugural book, "The NorthSide Clit," has sold out on the East coast and being made into a production play at the Harris Stowe State University next spring. Allysha's self-published, debut novel, "Keep It On The Down Low, No One Has To Know," is still rising to the top of the Urban Street Novel charts. Graduating on the Dean's Honor Roll from Brown Mackie College in Salina, KS with an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Information Technology, Allysha has become a voice to abused women across the Metropolitan Area. She has appeared on City TV 10, in St. Louis, Mo and has been interviewed several times, including public speaking engagements at The St. Louis Public Library, a host of book signings and several St. Louis Radio stations. Vocalizing both raw and potent talent, Allysha began her writing career behind the walls of a Federal Prison in Fort Worth, Texas. It was inside the solitude of the institution, that Allysha began sharing her past of emotional, physical and sexual abuse with the women of the institution. It was her fellow inmates that both encouraged and inspired Allysha to share her testimony with the world through writing. Allysha began writing programs and plays of both raw and uncut abuse stories for her fellow inmates to perform. The reviews were so intense and demanding, in 2002, the Camp Administrator authorized Allysha and an inmate production crew to perform a play for the Warden, staff and their families and outside guests, the first in the facility's history. In 1999, she began writing her now published novel, "Keep It On The Down Low." Allysha has continued to use her real life struggles as the motivation to fuel her fire for success. Released from prison in 2004, Allysha has landed a three book publishing deal with Street Knowledge Publication in New York and continues to self publish novels as well. She is currently working in the administrative field and the CEO of BAMM Management (Books and Music Merging Together To Make A Difference, One Beat, One Novel At A Time), her own urban relations firm. Allysha's clothing line "Phem" is scheduled for release this fall. With a continuous ear to the street and the vision to use the past as a roadway to the future, Allysha brings a voice to a multi-generational group of women that no longer can be ignored, turning helpless to hope, molestation to mercy, violation to vision, suffering to success and pain to promise.
