This article may meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion because in its current form it serves only to promote or publicise an entity, person, product, or idea, and would require a fundamental rewrite in order to become encyclopedic. However, the mere fact that a company, organization, or product is a page's subject does not, on its own, qualify that page for deletion under this criterion. This criterion also does not apply where substantial encyclopedic content would remain after removing the promotional material as deletion is not cleanup; in this case please remove the promotional material yourself, or add the {{advert}} tag to alert others to do so. See CSD G11.

Annie Yellowe Palma British poet and author
Born Annie Comfort Yellowe April 18, 1962 she is an author and the first black woman brought up in the Ulster region of Northern Ireland at the height of 'the troubles' in the 1960s.
Occupation - qualified social worker, poet and author.
Early life and education - she is a qualified social worker with a diploma in social work (DipSW) an honours degree in applied social science (BSc Hons) and an advanced award in social work (AAW).
She was born in Liverpool, the only girl and middle child of six.
Her late father Frank Peter Yellowe was Nigerian. He was a merchant seaman and professional boxer (Frank Honeyman) and her late mother Ivy Yellowe (nee Gracey) was Northern Irish.
At the age of 4 and after her parents separated Yellowe was taken by her mother along with 3 of her 5 brothers to live in the Portadown area of Northern Ireland. Portadown was infamously known as part of the 'murder triangle' because of the high numbers of killings there at that time.
For the most part Northern Ireland is synonymous with the term, ‘the troubles’. The ‘troubles’ are more accurately described by Yellowe Palma as a 'civil war' fought on the local streets between Catholics and Protestants.
Many are aware of this war that began in the early 1960's and lasted over four decades.
Many will not be aware that the Yellowe family, the only black family there at the time, lived behind the notorious barricades in County Armagh.
The family lived amongst the paramilitary members of the UDA and UVF and were regularly subjected to racism, sectarianism and violence.
Early Education and Employment: From the age of 5 to 15 years Yellowe attended Edenderry Primary School http://edenderry.org/ and Killicomaine Junior High School http://www.killicomaine.co.uk/ respectively and was the first and only black girl in both schools. She went on to work in the Ulster Carpet Mills http://ulstercarpets.com/ which was local to her home. Yellowe left Northern Ireland in 1986 moving to London. She later married and acquired her husband's surname, Palma. As an author she uses both names and is known as Annie Yellowe Palma in the literary world.
Literary work: Yellowe Palma has penned several collections of poetry and written an autobiographical book, For the Love of a Mother (The Black Children of Ulster).
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Love-Mother-Black-Children-Ulster-ebook/dp/B06XKX5S9Z
The book is of historic importance and was added to the special collections and archives library at Queen's University in Belfast http://encore.qub.ac.uk/iii/encore_qub/record/C__Rb2089795__SFor%20the%20Love%20of%20a%20Mother%20The%20Black%20Children%20of%20Ulster__Orightresult__U?lang=eng&suite=qub to be preserved for future research purposes.
