My Story
From an early age, reading books have always held a special place in my heart. As a child, you could often find me tucked away in a corner, immersed in a good book, while others played outside. After pursuing a career in corporate marketing and earning a degree in Journalism, I still felt a deep yearning to write stories that spoke to my soul. That's when I began writing romance novels on my daily commute. Eventually, I found my true passion in writing children's books.
​
In 2018, I self-published my first children's picture book, Polly Pear, which I soon followed with activity books Write With Polly Pear and Color with Polly Pear.
In 2021, I published When We All Wear A Mask, a timely book aimed at explaining the importance of wearing a mask to children during the pandemic. My latest works, Unstoppable Zee and My Day With Grandma, were published in 2021 and have already captured the hearts of readers.
​
As an author, I find immense joy in creating stories that inspire and empower children, and celebrate Black joy. I been recognized by Stamford, CT Public Schools, where my children's book, My Day With Grandma, has been included in every K-3rd grade classroom in the district beginning in March 2023.
To anyone who shares my love for writing, I encourage you to pursue your passion with confidence. There's nothing more fulfilling than following your dreams and seeing where the journey takes you.
