About
Troy Buckner, the diva, the accountant who cocooned into a playwright, hails from the South- Lake Providence, LA. The playwright graduated from Southern University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting and a Minor in Business Law and Administration. Troy’s academic accomplishment catapults her into corporate America where she encounters injustice at its worst. As a Southern woman, she was taught the art of empowered living. It is no wonder that Troy who was reared by her firm, yet warm, strong, yet sensitive father has willed her affinity, love, life and affection to her children and those close to her.
A songwriter/lyricist and literary writer, Ms. Buckner released her first 300 page novel, entitled “A Bird In Flight” in July 2007. Her NAACP endorsed novel is based on the power of self-expression with truth, integrity and character on display; she quotes, “How will we ever become great without failure? How will we ever become successful without error? How will we ever grow without pain? Her personal testimony will be a blessing to people from all walks of life as they hear and embrace her personal treasures that are demonstrated extraordinarily throughout her novel.
In life, as in her novel, she participates in her destiny with confidence, faith, prayers and hope. She is a single mother of four sons, and a business entrepreneur. Ms. Buckner is the Chief Executive Officer for her company, Hy’Tara Entertainment. She possesses an enormous diversity of professional skills in the entertainment, public and private sector. Her latest novels entitled, ‘A Season Beyond Nightfall’ and ‘Sinsations’ are due to be published late fall 2010. Ms. Buckner is current working on her Screenplay, ‘Broken, The Lie’. Ms. Buckner was the Producer and Executive Producer for the thought provoking and soul searching theatrical production, ‘Tell Hell I Aint Comin’, A Marcia Samuels Production, starring Tommy Ford from the successful sitcom, ‘Martin & New York Undercover’ and Tony Grant from the Grammy nominated R & B Group, ‘Az Yet’ on the La Face Record label. Ms. Buckner managed and co-produced Gospel Renown Artist and Stella Award Winner, Kenny Smith and Vernessa Mitchell from the Motown’s Grammy Award winning R & B Group, ‘HiEnergy’. Ms. Buckner is currently writing, managing, and producing several upcoming artists. Hers is not just a one woman’s fable of her journey through life, but a celebration of her championing in the race in which she was born to participate and win. Her humility throughout the novel is saint-like as she manages to clutch to her last string of composure. Troy’s spirituality is the most redeeming force in her life. God is the centrifugal force of her existence. Her dream is to produce and direct her own film. As far as this persona goes, she encapsulates balance..this is certainly, “ The Encomium of Troy Buckner”.
