"I’m a Scribe Coach who helps writers embody resilience, write stories that shaped them, and use their pen to heal. I believe that storytelling becomes healing when writers have safe spaces to pick up their pen and let their hearts speak."

Penda L. James

After ten years, I finished my first book. As a Creativity Coach, I offer accountability and a plan to help you finish your project.

I'm from Dayton, Ohio, where funk music, Paul Laurence Dunbar, and a large extended family influenced my creativity and emphasized the importance of education. Wilberforce University shaped my love for helping people tell their stories. I'm a lifelong learner with certificates in life coaching, film writing, and the Strength-Based Family Worker credential.

With my pen, podcast, and life, I hope to inspire you to use your gifts and pursue your dreams. I write books, films, music, and curriculum. I can help you capture your stories.
