About the Author:

As her parents first chosen (adopted) child, Stephanie knew she was different. Despite her biological grandmother being illiterate, Stephanie started to read the swear words on the playground at the age of three. Today, she edits client’s manuscripts, empowers new BIPOC authors, and reads with fuzzy blankets at home. Stephanie was diagnosed with dyslexia, yet her literature processing skills were much higher than her peers, which inspired the start of Stephanie’s story in the form of Septopus. Her goal is to teach others about their own inner strength. She desires to empower those who are born different while building a better future for the next generation.
