Pick up the pen and let your heart speak.

My name is Penda L. James

I believe in the power of words.
 

I stood behind a wall of writer's block for 10 years when I wrote my first book. Believe me, I understand having an incomplete project that taunts you at night. With accountability and a plan, I finished that book. As a Creativity Coach, I want to help you finish your project.

Reviews from former clients >>>> here.

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 from Temple University.

With my pen, podcast, and life, I want to inspire you to use your gifts and pursue your dreams. I write books, films, music, and curriculum.​ I can help you capture the stories that show how you embodied resilience.
