Empowering African American Storytellers

Updated: Jun 28, 2023

In a world hungry for diverse voices and perspectives, there is a significant need for more Black literature written by Black people. It’s time to break the barriers and share your stories with the world. If you’ve ever felt the urge to write a book but didn’t know where to start, I’m here to support you on your journey. In this blog, I want to encourage aspiring authors, publishers, and writers within the African American community to put their stories out there. Together, let’s unlock the power of storytelling and make a lasting impact.



Embracing the Power of self-publishing, vanity publishing, or traditional publishing may seem like an elusive path for many aspiring authors. However, the rise of self-publishing has revolutionized the industry, providing a viable platform to share your work without breaking the bank. I invite you to join my free workshop on self-publishing, where I will guide you through the process and show you that self-publishing is accessible, affordable, and empowering. Together, let’s unleash your creativity and bring your stories to life.



Understanding the Different Publishing Options In the publishing world, it’s essential to familiarize yourself with the various options available. In addition to self-publishing, we’ll explore traditional publishing and vanity publishing. By understanding the pros and cons of each approach, you can make an informed decision that aligns with your goals and aspirations as an author. Knowledge is power, and together, we’ll navigate the publishing landscape.


Cultivating the Craft of Writing and Editing Writing is an art form that requires dedication, skill, and honing your craft. In my workshop, we will delve into the intricacies of writing and editing. From crafting compelling characters and narratives to refining your prose, we’ll explore the tools and techniques that will elevate your storytelling. Don’t let self-doubt or fear hold you back — let’s uncover your unique voice and help you polish your manuscript to perfection.


The power of storytelling knows no bounds. As African American writers, we hold within us a wealth of stories that deserve to be heard. By sharing our experiences, we not only enrich the lives of others but also find healing, liberation, and empowerment. I am here to support you on this transformative journey, whether it’s by offering guidance, editing assistance, or simply being a listening ear. Together, let’s break the chains of silence and create a literary landscape that truly reflects the diversity of our community.

If you’re ready to embark on this journey, reach out and connect with me. Together, we can empower each other and pave the way for a future where African American literature shines brightly. Remember, your story matters, and the world is waiting to hear it.
