Bio
Naketi Latoy Simmons was born in Merrillville, Indiana and raised in Gary, Indiana. She was the middle child & the only girl in her family. Simmons began singing at church with her four brothers. They started singing at a very young age. Her mother, taught them how to learn songs & her brother, knew how to give out parts and play the piano by ear. Her father played the bass guitar for the choir. They were known at church for singing 5 part harmony. Simmons sang in the junior choir at church. She also led songs at church concerts. She loves music and she has an ear for giving out parts as well. Simmons has an eye & ear for talent. She can pick up on talent right away. Simmons began journal writing at a very young age. In her journals she wrote about however she felt. Writing was a way out for her. It freed her. As time went on she began to discover her gift as a poet at age 12, but she did not realize her calling at that time. As she evolved, lived, learned and experienced the cares of this life she discovered her passion. Simmons started writing again in 2006 when she took a poetry class at Indiana University Purdue University of Indianapolis. She realized her true talent when she wrote "Dreaming of 43rd & Monroe". In 2008 she submitted “Dreaming of 43rd & Monroe” and won Editor’s Choice Award for poetry.com.

Simmons is currently venturing out at different spoken word venues to lift the lives of others. The joy she gets from speaking & singing to people is making them smile. In 2011, Simmons took her poetry pieces and turned them into songs. Her desire is to touch everyone with her poetry & songs. Simmons created and changed her performing name to V.E.R.S.E.S., because she loves writing poetry verses.

With her book she wants to help encourage people to chase after their dreams, and excel in everything they do. In her spare time she enjoys singing, shopping, teaching, learning, going to church, modeling, working out, playing basketball and spending time with loved ones. Simmons has endured many obstacles, but she still managed to come out on top. Her heart’s desire is to teach others how to come out on top as well regardless of what they are going through.
