Dear Reader, 

​​​

I’m excited to share my passion for literature with you and committed to creating novels that have the power to move, inspire, captivate, and entertain. My characters’ stories are inspired by true-to-life scenarios that spark conversation and challenge worldviews.​

​

 Aside from novel writing and book coaching, I've protected children from abuse, counseled youth, and reunified families. For nine years, I worked as an Adjunct Humanities Professor for Springfield College.

 

2022,  I adapted my novel, Sense of Love, for stage. Directed by Yolanda M. Franklin, Sense of Love play debuted at the La Jolla Playhouse, Mandell Weiss Forum and closed with a sell-out crowd.
 

 2021, I expanded my credentials by becoming a producer and filmmaker, establishing Twenty-Odd Production, LLC.

​​

 In 2018,  I founded 1619 National Celebration of Black Women, a non-profit organization that honors women of African descent for their extraordinary contributions to building America.  Together, with the incredible 1619 Team, we are changing the narrative about Black women and girls nationwide. 

​​​​

As a Psychotherapist, I hold a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Texas Southern University, an HBCU,  and a master's degree in Social Work from San Diego State University

​​

Currently, I reside in Southern California. Together, my husband and I raised two amazing, talented, self-driven kids.

​​​​

Stop by anytime,

​

With Love, 

​

Sheryl Mallory-Johnson
