Mercedelli Graciano, also known as "Mercy G" is a Mental Health Counselor and self-published author who traveled the world of entertainment through a former career as a dancer/choreographer, actress, model and TV production assistant. After transitioning through a career via the education sector and seeing the need for emotional intelligence in kids, she decided to give back to the world by starting The Self Specialist. In an effort to help people become the best version of themselves her main drive is Self-Love with an understanding of Self-Awareness, Self-Care and Self-Control. In her own words, “It all starts from within; if we are able to look at ourselves and notice the markings we leave imprinted through our paths, we would be more conscious of how we act and interact. Being self-centered and selfish is actually not a bad thing if done in a healthy way. To be self-centered is to be grounded and to be selfish is to establish boundaries.” Mercedelli has been writing poetry since age 12, but recently decided to begin publishing her work through the most popular social media platforms. "I hope to publish a book one day, but my heart has to be in the right place. You can't rush emotions. You can get hurt like that." This was her reply when asked about publishing for print. Now, she brings about all her emotional thoughts to paper with "The Awakening Of My Senses", her first book. Her hope is to enlighten the emotional path of everyone who comes across her writing.
