My Story
I am a wife, mother, marketer, and author. I was born and raised in Roanoke Rapids, a small town in eastern North Carolina, surrounded by beautiful trees and farmland. I received a Bachelor's in Business from Winston-Salem State University, a historically black college. And, later, I went on to receive an MBA from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
With a passion for education, literature, and diversity, I founded the Zayzay Literary Co. to allow me to freely create and support others in their publishing journey. As an author, I seek to write stories that expand mindsets on the BIPOC experience.

Growing up in a small, rural community, surrounded by farmland and trees, I spent a lot of my time outside with my feet in the dirt and riding four-wheelers through the forests. This is one of the many untold narratives of African Americans in the outdoors.

Talking to your baby promotes communication and literacy skills and supports social and emotional development. The significance of this can put a lot of pressure on parents, especially those that suffer from speech impediments, social anxiety, or who are just not talkative in general.
