What I Do…

Diverse children’s books and BIPOC dementia advocate, caregiver, speaker, publisher, virtual school visits, and writing workshops for children ages 5-11 years.

Hi, I’m Valene!

In 2 short words, I’m a change maker and an advocate for matters that I ‘m passionate about— children’s literature and Alzheimer’s disease awareness.

I facilitate early antiracism intervention (K-8th grade) through my bestselling diverse children’s literature series The Amazing Zoe. I present to elementary schools, non-profit organizations and corporations on topics based on the messages from my books.

My children’s stories are loosely based on real-life scenarios and offer solution-based, actionable processes, that nurture inclusive future leaders.

Books

Whether through webinars, hosting educational Instagram shows or school visits, Valene is an assured and intelligent voice, challenging established narratives in literature, committed to social justice and making complex story ideas accessible to all children.

School Author visits

Virtual read aloud from best-selling Children’s series, The Amazing Zoe and diversity presentation combined with Afro-Inspired interactive dancing. K-8th grade.

Interacting with young readers is one of my favourite things about being an author—whether that is in person or through a screen. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way authors do school visits, as many schools have shifted to online learning and large gatherings are prohibited until it’s safe to do so. As much as I miss meeting with students in person, I also view the shift to virtual author visits as an opportunity to keep doing good work—and my visits remain just as informative, engaging, and interactive as the in-person version.

Speaker

Presentation and special speaker for events, schools and organizations on topics that include: the importance of diverse children’s literature, caregiving, sandwich generation, dementia awareness in BIPOC communities,

Book Marketing Consultations

Go behind the scenes and learn effective marketing strategies that save time, save money and help you sell more books.

They say being an author is tough, but I had no idea exactly how tough until it was time for my first book to be published.

One of the hardest parts of being an author is marketing your book. You’ve written an awesome story; now it’s time to get it in front of the readers who will love it! But how do you do that? How can you create a successful book launch or revive a book that’s gone cold?

One of the best advice I learned during my publishing journey is that getting help will make the entire process that much more smoother, less stressful and best of all- successful!

“As a new Mother with aging parents, it is good to find stories to educate them with. A few of my childhood friends’ parents have Alzheimer’s and they have children, this book could help the parents explain.”
