About
I've been weaving words since the age of eight—crafting short stories and poetry that gave voice to my imagination and heart. In 2004, I published my first book, and since then, my pen has birthed a diverse collection: prayer books, workbooks, a relationship guide, children's stories, a fiction novel inspired by biblical women, and even a coloring book. Each one reflects a facet of my purpose, and I know there’s still so much more to come.
I was recognized in the Who's Who of the International Library of Poetry and to have received multiple awards celebrating the impact of my work. Writing is not just what I do—it’s how I uplift, heal, and inspire.

Can you tell us a little about yourself and how you started writing children’s books?
I was born and raised in New Orleans, La. I came into the world with a boundless imagination. As a child, storytelling was second nature—my days were filled with short stories and vivid characters born from my own wonder. But it wasn’t until later in life, when my daughter lovingly challenged me to write a book and offered to illustrate it herself, that I penned my very first children’s story. That moment was a beautiful turning point—a shared creative leap that opened the door to a new chapter in my writing journey.

What inspired your first story, and what inspires you now?
I can’t pinpoint exactly what sparked my first story—truthfully, it was two stories, one for girls and one for boys, both woven around the same theme. I’ve always believed that children mirror what they see in us as parents, often imitating our actions and attitudes. Through those stories, I wanted to gently guide them toward seeing their parents not just as authority figures, but as everyday heroes—worthy of admiration, love, and respect.
