Honored to Be Featured

I’m thrilled to share that I was recently interviewed by Shareefah Fuller (@enaalese) for her series A Writer’s Playground. In this spotlight, I opened up about my journey as an indie author, publisher, and the mission behind Bright Headed Publishing.

Through this platform, I’ve been able to highlight my books Weight For It and You Sound White, my commitment to supporting indie authors, and my passion for amplifying bold, authentic voices.

Inside the Interview

During our conversation, I shared:

What inspires my writing and why storytelling is at the heart of everything I do.

Why I don’t limit myself to a favorite genre — I just love a good story.

The author who inspires me most (spoiler: Maya Angelou ✨).

My advice to other writers about copyrights and protecting your work.

The biggest challenges indie authors face — visibility and marketing — and how I’ve learned to navigate them.

The importance of writing authentic characters readers can connect with.

We even had a little fun talking about what I’d do if I could rewrite the movie Soul Food! 🍴

Why This Matters

Interviews like these are important reminders that our voices matter, even in a crowded industry. My mission with Bright Headed Publishing is not just to share my own work, but also to equip indie authors with the tools to:

Get seen

Get read

Get paid

That’s why I also host Author’s Mic and BTA – Breaking the Algorithm™ Fridays: to share low-cost, practical strategies that actually move the needle for indie authors.

Your voice matters. Keep writing. Someone out there is waiting for your story.
