I’m learning so much through this journey, and today was a really special milestone for me. It was my very first official partnership for a book collaboration coming mid-March, and honestly, it was the first time I truly felt like a “big girl” sitting around a round table — listening, sharing, and receiving input from owners on something I had already created. It was such a sweet and humbling experience. I walked away feeling incredibly excited and encouraged, and the owners were genuinely proud of the work I’ve done. Moments like this remind me why I started and why I’m continuing, even while learning along the way 🤍

Hello everyone, I wanted to share that two children’s ebooks I’ve created are now available on Amazon, both part of The Rooted and Radiant Series. Curls, Coils, & All My Colors is a gentle, affirming story about self-expression, emotions, and identity. Through changing hairstyles and moods, it reminds children that every version of who they are is worthy and enough. Love Is Everywhere: 365 Days of Love is an interactive book that helps children explore what love looks like in everyday moments through affirmations, journaling prompts, and calming coloring pages. It’s designed to support kindness, reflection, and emotional awareness all year long. Both books are created for children ages 5–9 and focus on social-emotional learning in a soft, approachable way. I’d love to invite you to check them out, read with the children in your life, or pass them along if they resonate. They’re available here on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GKX52KB2 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GL7QDT84 Thank you for being such a thoughtful and supportive community.

And it went pretty. I think me practicing talking about my book is really helping me articulate what it's about...that is something I struggle with. What about you guys...do yall like going live?

Today, I'm working on my preorder campaign and I've decided to change my offer and turn it into a fundraising campaign of sorts. So this is what I was thinking... For every book that is purchased 50% of the profits will go to a mother in need at a local pregnancy resource center. What do you think? I actually really like this idea because I became a Christian through a pregnancy resource center so it is really near and dear to my heart. Anyway hope you guys have wonderfully productive day.

I’ve had a lot of my students and clients ask for marketing tips specifically for introverts, so here they are! I hope you get some good ideas for marketing your children’s book from watching it 😊
