Hi, I'm Valencia Perkins - A Children's Book Author

​I started writing children's books because my passion is education. I wanted to teach kids lessons through stories they can understand. So, I wrote and published my first book, Poppy's Garden, to teach children about death using plants as an illustration.

 

My passion for education comes from living in the harsh realities of Memphis, TN. I've witnessed hardship and how it affects the health of families and children, and I wanted to change that. Education is the key to a successful future for every child and adult. 

 

My experience at TSU changed my life and created many opportunities for me. I was the president of LYLAS and joined Futuro and the NAACP while studying for my Bachelor's degree. I named my business after my two beautiful girls, whom I have the gift of teaching every day.

 

I also sell plant-based hair and skincare products because I experienced a tragic birth when I had Reign, which left me with a medical condition that was cured by changing my diet. Because of this, I became a Certified Doula, teaching moms about the benefits of a holistic pregnancy.

 

I desire to continue using my gift of teaching to help moms take care of their health, their children's health, and educate their families! Join my email community below and read my first book for free!
