Hello, my name is A. A. Kingston and I have raised, and am still raising, 7 children.

My name is Carmelita Milfort-Vasilyeva. I have been working as a Full-time teacher for nine years. I have my Associate’s degree in Elementary Education, a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education, and a Master’s degree in Developmental Disabilities.

I am a migration scholar and professional writer who loves to travel. I have lived on 5 continents! I’ve been traveling since I was 13 years old and really love being a global nomad. Now that I have two kids of my own, I want to make it easier for them to realize that travel is normal.

I’ve always loved reading and writing – I hardly leave the house without a book! I live on the North Shore of Massachusetts, which means there are a lot of beautiful places where I can read and write. I grew up in Connecticut but made the move to Massachusetts after studying English in college.

I spent most of my life working with my students, children, and now, with my grandkids. In 1999, I received the “Educator of Excellence” award by the New York English Council.

Audrey Day: I have always loved art. Growing up I filled every spare inch of my homework with doodles. Making art for a living has been a dream of mine forever.

I am a wife and a mother of five, I have four small dogs and a rabbit which I absolutely adore, and I am a qualified Montessori teacher with over twenty-five years of experience with special needs.

I began my career caring for animals as a Veterinary Technician, then as an Animal Control Officer. Eventually, after having my sons, I decided to work from home as an Accounting Associate, which enabled me to start writing.

Leslie: I’m a Baltimore native who is passionate about advocating for equity in education.

I am a nurse turned stay at home mom and homeschool teacher, due to the pandemic. I live in Southeast Texas with my husband and two sons; but I am originally from Louisiana.
