Sheryl Mallory-Johnson

I discovered my love for literature at an early age. My love for humanity soon followed. Fusing my two loves, I write complex, heartfelt stories that embody the human experience.  

 

Before becoming a novelist,  I worked in the field of Human Services for many years, advocating for children, youth, and families.

 

I continue to teach in the field of humanities and work as a Psychotherapist. 

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Texas Southern University, and a Masters's Degree in Social Work from San Diego State University.  

 

To commemorate the 400 years since the first African captives arrived in the Americas, I founded the 1619 National Celebration of Black Women. My purpose-driven mission is recognizing the extraordinary contributions women of African descent have made in building America.
