Otha Lee is a pen name. Introducing Otha Lee Otha was born black, poor, and country in Arkansas to hardworking parents: Father - Farmer, Mother - Teacher/Hairdresser. Growing up she worked hard on the farm, and in school, earning a scholarship for the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff at age 16. She graduated at the top of her class. Soon after graduation she married a schoolmate. By September of that year she had been hired to teach in West Memphis, Tenn. Later, she and her husband migrated “North” to Chicago (by mistake) and this became their new home. During the course of this 22 year marriage, five children were born (all girls). In those years, she intermittently taught in the Chicago Public School System and took time away to focus on her young children as they came along. At one point Otha ventured into “corporate America” but returned to teaching. She went to the heart of the problem by working at Marshall H.S, an inner-city school known for its tumultuous activity. She was an asset to that community, appreciated as a blessing by many; students, parents and faculty alike. She writes lyrical praise, and prose from which she joyfully shares and she has recently published two of her novels. Otha is passionate in her fellowship with God and commitment to unity in the body of Christ. She practices love, faith, worship, praise, and prayer.
