Veronica Thornton, known as Ms. Vee, is a Cleveland-based poet, creative consultant, and community advocate who uses the written word as both mirror and medicine. A survivor, observer, and empath, Vee transforms lived experience into poetic expression that resonates deeply with readers navigating love, loss, identity, and healing. She is the author of Universal Colloquies Inside of Me and Train of Thoughts, and her work has been featured in multiple anthologies centered on empowerment, social justice, and the human spirit. Vee writes to give voice to what often goes unspoken and invites others to do the same.
