Imania Margria was born on September 29, 1991 in Livingston, New Jersey. She spent the first twelve years of her life growing up in East Orange, until moving to Kearny, New Jersey. She is of Native American, African and European descent. The native tribes she descends from are the Shinnecock, Cherokee, and Blackfoot tribes.

Margria’s passion for writing was sparked when she was very young. She loved to read classic novels, such as Black Beauty, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, the Nancy Drew/ Hardy Boys novels, and The Invisible Man. She also adored reading works from classic and modern poets, such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allen Poe, and Maya Angelou. Reading these different pieces, inspired Margria to compose her own works Imania Margria was born on September 29, 1991 in Livingston, New Jersey.

Margria’s passion for writing was sparked when she was very young. She loved to read classic novels, such as Black Beauty, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, the Nancy Drew/ Hardy Boys novels, and The Invisible Man. She also adored reading works from classic and modern poets, such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allen Poe, and Maya Angelou. Reading these different pieces, inspired Margria to compose her own works of poetry and fiction.

She wrote her first poem, I Need You, around six years old. She also wrote several short stories by time she was seven. She also completed her first children’s fiction book before she was ten. Margria’s gift of empathy towards other people helped her create very deep, emotional, and moral oriented creative works at a young age.

The first person to recognize her granddaughter’s love for writing stories and poetry was Margria’s grandmother. Her grandmother encouraged her to pursue her dreams by expressing herself through her writing, since it was a dream they both shared.

Even years after her grandmother's death, Margria used the memory of her grandmother's encouragement, supportive words and love to provide her with the strength to pursue her dream. Margria fulfilled the shared dream she had with her grandmother when her book, Secret's of My Heart, was published in June 2016. Secrets of My Heart is a collection of Margria's poetry and prose. Imania's poems have been shared on various websites for years, with some winning awards from small competitions. Her quotes have inspired and touched people from across the globe, who have translated her words in their native tongues to share with their loved ones.

Margria prefers to write stories within the genres of romance, suspense, fantasy, science fiction, and inspiration. Imania has stated that her main goal for writing is not as much for fame, but to inspire and touch the hearts of her readers. She has also stated that one of her happiest moments are when she sees her words have moved or inspired various people from around the globe. When she sees someone sharing her quotes or positively impacted by one of her stories, it touches her heart and becomes her strongest inspiration when she writes.

Most of Margria’s works are available to the public on sites, like Quotev and Wattpad. Most of the stories available online are fan fictions Margria wrote in high school and decided to share them to the world after a friend encouraged her to do so. Imania's long-awaited first novel, Eyes, is projected to be released later this year. A death of a loved one caused her to delay the initial deadline, so she could deal with the loss.

Margria is not only an author, but she is a model and martial artist. Margria has many passions. She has been in various fashion shows and has competed/won various karate tournaments in the United States. She is in every sense a proud Jersey girl. ...more

This is a way for me to stay connected with you all and sort through my thoughts at the same time. It's a type of writing therapy. Hope you enjoy it.

Stay safe and well,

Secrets of my Heart by Imania Margria excerpts (Poetry)

2 chapters — updated May 24, 2016 06:31PM

Description: Here's an excerpt from my first book and collection of poetry and prose, Secrets of my Heart. Here's my poem "Live Forever". Secrets of my Heart by Imania Margria: Everyone has secrets hidden somewhere deep inside of them. Not everyone has the courage to reveal the secrets hidden deep inside them because they are afraid they might negatively affect their lives. But when the risk is worth taking, releasing the burden of secrets can provide rewards greater than our fears. In her collection of poetry and prose, Imania Margria shares long- hidden secrets of her heart with the hope that she will inspire others to do the same. Within verse that explores secrets of love, forbidden desire, hope, loss, and passion offered in English, Italian, and Spanish, Margria candidly re ects on her emotions as she searches for answers, her purpose, and her true love. Included in her poignant collection is an excerpt of Margria’s soon-to-be-released romance novel, Eyes. Secrets of My Heart is a heartfelt collection of powerful poetry and prose inspired by one woman’s personal experiences and thoughts.
