Kristy spent the 80s and 90s moving as a military kid, so the comic strips in the English newspaper Stars & Stripes kept her connected to the culture and creativity of “The States” while stationed overseas. Those strips - Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, Garfield, Cathy, and The Far Side - and the 80s kid’s entertainment line-ups taught her the power of strong, short-form visual stories, and continue to inspire her work today. Kristy’s stories are informed by her lived experience as a Black woman raised in a Southern family, and simultaneously, reared on bases across America and Europe. Kristy’s nomadic upbringing made her yearn for a place outside of the South and her family to put down roots of her own. In 2000, she got a job at a PR firm in Manhattan and moved to Bed Stuy, Brooklyn. Growing up in the South and overseas, her Brooklyn neighborhood and friends deepened her understanding of Caribbean culture and the influence of the African diaspora on everything, as well as the other myriad cultures thriving in New York City. Living in and falling in love in Bed Stuy created new avenues for her writing and drawing, with many of her characters drawn from everyday life and people met along the way. Illustration and writing stories are “the only things I’ve ever consistently wanted to do,” and to that end, we’re excited to share all the characters and stories that live in her imagination with you. In addition to writing and illustrating, Kristy has spent over 25 years as a communications strategist, developing PR, comms and marketing strategies for a variety of brands, nonprofits, and agencies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06285d482e9c2772c6ed3/1754017481347-5UOODXP3NTIZYSYVZ1PV/DSC00021.jpg Literary Representation - Alisha L.

My fascination with communication and social dynamics began much earlier, when I started college at the age of 15. Being the youngest in the room made me an outsider, which piqued my interest in human connection. That early experience sparked a lifelong fascination with the science of communication and relationships. I built a global career in the oil and gas industry, working across five continents. In this space, I was always the youngest person, and often the only woman, in the room. Rather than letting that intimidate me, I leaned into communication skills. I sharpened my ability to navigate conversations, read the room, and set aside my own biases and emotions—developing the tools to respond with grace and authority rather than impulse. Along the way, I developed countless strategies that anyone can learn to cultivate presence, earn trust, and create genuine connection. While my professional career has thrived in the business world, I also love sharing my passion for hosting and fostering connections around the dinner table. I’ve spent years mastering the art of bringing people together with confidence, grace, and an unhurried presence, whether it’s a business dinner or a meal shared with friends. The intersection of these worlds has shown me that composure isn’t just a professional asset—it’s an art form, and the key to intentional relationships. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06285d482e9c2772c6ed3/1752697268536-H2GBIRU3ZN154W8I0GMG/JIMIxAC-9.jpg Literary Representation - James “Jimi” Henderson James “Jimi” Henderson is a writer, creative director, and artist originally from San Antonio, Texas.

I just graduated from Appalachian State University with my Bachelors in Public Relations. Some fun facts about me is that I love Jesus, traveling, coffee, and of course writing! A big part of who I am is that I was born with Achondroplasia dwarfism. I know that’s a really big word but all it means is that I was born with short limbs which means I’ll only be about 4ft tall for my whole life. It would have been easy for me to let this define who Dacey would be, but God had something else in mind. He took what the world would have called a mistake and turned it into a blessing. God can turn anything around, and He definitely did in my life! He used my dwarfism to give me a story, and now I get the opportunity to tell my story to thousands of people! If you can learn anything from me, I’d encourage you to be the you that God created you to be!

Kristy spent the 80s and 90s moving as a military kid, so the comic strips in the English newspaper Stars & Stripes kept her connected to the culture and creativity of “The States” while stationed overseas. Those strips - Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, Garfield, Cathy, and The Far Side - and the 80s kid’s entertainment line-ups taught her the power of strong, short-form visual stories, and continue to inspire her work today. Kristy’s stories are informed by her lived experience as a Black woman raised in a Southern family, and simultaneously, reared on bases across America and Europe. Kristy’s nomadic upbringing made her yearn for a place outside of the South and her family to put down roots of her own. In 2000, she got a job at a PR firm in Manhattan and moved to Bed Stuy, Brooklyn. Growing up in the South and overseas, her Brooklyn neighborhood and friends deepened her understanding of Caribbean culture and the influence of the African diaspora on everything, as well as the other myriad cultures thriving in New York City. Living in and falling in love in Bed Stuy created new avenues for her writing and drawing, with many of her characters drawn from everyday life and people met along the way. Illustration and writing stories are “the only things I’ve ever consistently wanted to do,” and to that end, we’re excited to share all the characters and stories that live in her imagination with you. In addition to writing and illustrating, Kristy has spent over 25 years as a communications strategist, developing PR, comms and marketing strategies for a variety of brands, nonprofits, and agencies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06285d482e9c2772c6ed3/1754017827574-5OSCI15LF5L009TX5AVD/DSC00021.jpg Deidra Riggs - Alisha L.

We live in an old Pennsylvania farmhouse that we have been renovating ourselves over the last 15 years. Our farmhouse is a true fixer upper and was in a sad state when we bought it so I started sharing that renovating process on a blog (Farmhouse5540.blogspot.com) that I started about 15 years ago. I no longer blog but I share our farmhouse renovations, my decorating ideas, shop life and everything and anything I find beautiful on my instagram page @farmhouse5540. Our home has been featured in over 10 magazines, many of which I have done the photography for myself. I have been selling antiques for over 10 years now and have been a shop owner for 6. My shop is located in an old general store in an old railroad town out in the country. Being a mom, giving old things a new life, decorating, renovating, gardening, photography, running my antique/home decor shop, sharing my work and inspiring others with my ideas are my biggest passions.Nothing makes me happier than to make something people considered garbage (our farmhouse included) into something beautiful. I would say one of my greatest strengths is seeing the potential in something others think is worthless.

My fascination with communication and social dynamics began much earlier, when I started college at the age of 15. Being the youngest in the room made me an outsider, which piqued my interest in human connection. That early experience sparked a lifelong fascination with the science of communication and relationships. I built a global career in the oil and gas industry, working across five continents. In this space, I was always the youngest person, and often the only woman, in the room. Rather than letting that intimidate me, I leaned into communication skills. I sharpened my ability to navigate conversations, read the room, and set aside my own biases and emotions—developing the tools to respond with grace and authority rather than impulse. Along the way, I developed countless strategies that anyone can learn to cultivate presence, earn trust, and create genuine connection. While my professional career has thrived in the business world, I also love sharing my passion for hosting and fostering connections around the dinner table. I’ve spent years mastering the art of bringing people together with confidence, grace, and an unhurried presence, whether it’s a business dinner or a meal shared with friends. The intersection of these worlds has shown me that composure isn’t just a professional asset—it’s an art form, and the key to intentional relationships. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06285d482e9c2772c6ed3/1764076907911-VRZ0T16GILRJF9FBWOCU/KaHopper.jpg Rebekah Von Lintel - Karyn Hopper Karyn Hopper grew up in a small New England town before making the sunny move to Hawai’i in 1994.

Karyn has brought three books to life in Hawai’i https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c06285d482e9c2772c6ed3/1718314846799-V4ZP0NUTTB6O47FKOYJY/sheri%2Bheadshot%2Bpic.jpg Rebekah Von Lintel - Sheri Hunter Sheri has been a writer and TV News producer for Detroit NBC and CBS news affiliates.

Sheri’s book, Daring to Live, and published by Baker Books was optioned by Amazon Films in 2023. The book is about love, loss, and healing following the unexpected 2012 death of her husband Mannard. With the help of her Dare Diva friends who encouraged Sheri to skydive, cliff jump, and hike Mt. Kilimanjaro, among other feats, her healing process shows how one can live out loud despite resounding loss.

Whether through insightful articles, research-backed insight, engaging social media content, or one-on-one interactions, she provides actionable tips, comforting reassurance, and a much-needed reminder that no parent is alone. Her mission? To help parents and teens build connections that last–-long after the teenage years are over.

I just graduated from Appalachian State University with my Bachelors in Public Relations. Some fun facts about me is that I love Jesus, traveling, coffee, and of course writing! A big part of who I am is that I was born with Achondroplasia dwarfism. I know that’s a really big word but all it means is that I was born with short limbs which means I’ll only be about 4ft tall for my whole life. It would have been easy for me to let this define who Dacey would be, but God had something else in mind. He took what the world would have called a mistake and turned it into a blessing. God can turn anything around, and He definitely did in my life! He used my dwarfism to give me a story, and now I get the opportunity to tell my story to thousands of people! If you can learn anything from me, I’d encourage you to be the you that God created you to be!
