A Life in Words
Even as a young child Dr. Tamecca Rogers would express her feelings through her writing. She developed her storytelling and writing quite a bit since then, but the thrill of language and creation she first discovered as a child has never gone away. Now she has the opportunity to share her love for writing with her 10-year-old son, Keith Ross. The pandemic gave them time to collaborate and write and publish several inspirational children's books, which benefits adults as well. The mother and son duo is enjoying their ability to express themselves and help others at the same time and has no intention of slowing down anytime soon. Get in touch if you’ve got any comments, questions, suggestions, or just want to say hello. Inspire Publishing would be more than happy to hear from you.
