ABout The Author
|
A highly sought after story teller, educator, and speaker in her own right, Courtney has spoken to thousands of children stateside, as well as Europe and Japan. Courtney, and her husband Curtis, are raising four beautiful children in South Jersey. She is a homeschooler and a Twizzlers fanatic! Courtney also writes and edits content for LifeWay Christian Resources. She also blogs about her family's homeschool journey.
Courtney's long-term goal to begin a small publishing imprint was recently obtained this summer! Stories for US LLC seeks to to share stories inspired by the truth that says all people were created by God and have dignity! This publishing company will highlight the beauty of the Black experience with every child and family, no matter their skin color. The existence of this publishing imprint is vital in light of data from The Cooperative Children’s Book Center (CCBC)'s 2019 survey on diverse children's and young adult books. The survey showed that the percentage of children's books by and about BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), only amount to: Black/African: 11.9% First/Native Nations: 1% Asian/Asian American: 8.7% Latinx: 5.3% Pacific Islander: 0.05% White: 41.8% The Rumble Hunters will be the first of many books to spark imaginations for generations to come. Courtney hopes children of all ages will go beyond their fears to see the world through new eyes! Courtney has been featured on:       |
