EIC & Founder of CCIQ Press, Rania M. M. Watts is not your garden variety human cut-out; scribing poetry since the age of 13 when the written word for her held the inception of healing vibes she still carries with her today. Rania has forged a path steeped in consistent trial by fire. As a poet, she houses the capacity to explore the darkest of subjects, while offering constant hope woven throughout her work. Rania is the curator of the ‘Roach Print Anthology’. All profits from this collection are donated towards global mental health initiatives. Rania has been published by the 48th Street Press Broadside Series; and Open Minds Quarterly’s special classroom edition, which is utilised to educate both college and high school students on mental health issues. Aside from her mental health advocacy, she has also utilised her talents to writing for two UK-based music blogs: The Punk Archive and Music Gateway, where music reviews and blog articles were the focus of her articles.

Outside of her passion for the written word, Rania earned a Social Service Worker Diploma, areas of focus encompassed HIV/AIDS Awareness, Prevention, Advocacy, and Suicidal ideation. In the Spring of 2021, Rania earned a Victimology Graduate Certificate with honours and is currently pursuing an Honours Bachelor in Behavioural Science, which she will utilise to benefit her in the music industry when she enters the Music Business Management post, completing HBBS.

Rania is constantly spelunking a myriad of fine art media. However, her wheelhouse is poetry regardless of utensils. A pen, crayon, eyeliner, quill, will do, with a nice piece of unblemished parchment. Rania has genuinely permitted her imagination to dominate her core since the age of 13 when she advised her teacher of her desire to escape to Europe with a typewriter, quill, ink, and parchment to scribe in fields of grass.

On March 31, 2023, Rania will find herself with 3 new book releases and 3-second edition printings of poetry books. The new offerings include Trajectory, a poetry book that explores being pushed to the limit in the truest comprehension of one’s personal understanding of themselves; Foreword by Tony Moore, Verity which explores human dialogues in the most idiosyncratically which
