Julie Coles Recounts Her Experiences As An Educator and Author

“Julie Coles is an aspiring author from the Northeast region of the U.S.. As a new author and independent publisher Julie’s writing’s display her extraordinary perspective about a public education system in dire need of change.”

 

Education became Julie’s primary passion since spending her summers as a camp counselor for special needs children, teens and adults. The experience was so memorable because of the relationships formed with her campers. Both exhausting and exhilarating, Julie discovered her passion for supporting the needs of others, who helped her learn how to become a  compassionate humanitarian.   

 

After receiving her bachelor’s degree from Brown University and her masters from the University of Connecticut, Julie went on to have a fulfilling career as a special education teacher. Enrolling in an Educational Leadership program to obtain her Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies (C.A.G.S.) at Cambridge College in Massachusetts enabled her to achieve her goal of leading her own school. 

 

Years of experience as a teacher and school leader taught her a great deal about the challenges both students and teachers face in economically challenged communities. Those experiences also influenced Julie’s decision to bring awareness to others about how outdated institutionalized policies unfairly tether public schools in many communities to substandard educational practices. Today she uses her writings, and new role as an author, to propose new educational models. The educational models are intended to remedy centuries of educational inequities contributing to pervasive academic achievement gaps. 

 

The experience Julie Coles brings to her books lays a foundation for the future that is hopeful, but rooted in the reality of life around us. She knows the resources teachers lack, the opportunities provided to some schools but not all, and identified an approach to resolve the concerns. Her dedication to equality in education stems from her passion for the educational well-being of current and future generations of students.  

 

Author Julie Coles created her first book to lay out a platform that will bridge gaps by empowering  students, engaging their families, and providing innovative strategies and instructional tools for teachers to assist them Cultivate Exceptional Classrooms; which is also the title of Julie Coles’ second book, scheduled for release in 2023. 

 

Why did you decide to create your own business?

 

I decided to create my own business because I wanted a public platform that would allow me to share ideas about how to improve the quality of education and the overall educational experience of students.

 

The process of creating my own business was influenced by topics connected with my experiences in education. My first book, and future educational books I am currently writing, center on my belief that our public education system needs to live up to the promise of “leaving no child behind”.  However, rather than just focusing on the problems, I wanted to use my time imagining solutions to remove and replace barriers hindering populations in urban and rural communities from achieving successful educational outcomes. The problem solving process was challenging because it required some innovative thinking about how to depart from current models and practices by replacing them with something better. I learned it is essential to never leave a void. I also wanted to be explicit about what I intend to achieve. My hope is by stating, “Here’s how we build more hopeful futures for our children.”, it will help provide clarity about the mission.  And in that spirit I decided to create my own business to reflect my aspirations for all kids. It is also why I chose to name my business, Because I Can, and publishing company, Imagine A More Promising Future Publishing.

 

What do you love most about the industry you are in?

 

As an author I appreciate the opportunity to share my perspective about our obligation to invest greater interest in the conditions that impact the futures of all children. Exploring ideas is one way to begin the dialogue. But my hope is whether or not people embrace my ideas, they are motivated to speak up and share their thoughts. We need to be open to diverse perspectives. 

 

What would you tell others looking to get into your industry?

 

My advice to new writers and aspiring authors is to simply begin then continue writing.  I found it useful to write about a variety of topics that came to mind. After all, we are multi-dimensional people. For those who desire to publish their writings, start exploring steps to familiarize yourself with the publishing process; including publishing options. Independent publishing is a very different path from traditional publishing. I opted for self-publishing because I wanted to retain my freedom.  

 

What is the biggest lesson you have learned during your career?

 

While not necessarily the biggest lesson I learned, certainly an important lesson that has served me well as a novice in independent publishing is not to let the “unknown” prevent me from moving forward. Independent publishing is a multi-step process and some of the individual steps included a series of tasks that needed to be completed. As a first timer, where everything was totally foreign to me, learning about the scope and sequence of what needed to get done was sometimes daunting. It took a lot of reminding myself to “ relax, breathe, research, process what I learned, re-read for more clarity any information not initially understood and then just get it done.” Building several different “To Do” lists was especially helpful, because I take particular joy in checking off each step achieved and declaring it “Ta Done!” As you can see, having a sense of humor is helpful too.

 

If you could change one thing you did in the beginning of your career, what would it be?

 

Great question! It was what I experienced in the beginning of my teaching career that influenced my decision to write about missing links in my second book, Cultivating Exceptional Classrooms. It’s one thing to enroll in education programs in college in preparation for my teaching career, then experience an entirely different landscape from what I expected as a first year teacher; and a novice. Now, as an author I am using my new platform to change one thing I encountered in the beginning of my career as a first year teacher. I am advocating for a new staffing model that embeds professional development specialists inside of schools to support first year teachers. Having to learn on my own how to manage a classroom, prepare instruction, design lessons and a range of other responsibilities while concurrently addressing the emotional and social needs of students with a variety of learning deficiencies was challenging. It could have been made less challenging if full-time support specialists were embedded at my school to guide me. I have no doubt that the guidance would have accelerated my advancement from being a novice teacher to a much more competent educator.   

 

What is one piece of advice that you have never forgotten?

 

Generally one piece of advice I have never forgotten is to never forget really good advice.

 

What is one thing you would change in your industry today if you could? 

 

Since my current career as a writer is linked with my former career as an educator and school leader, my first book, America’s Educational Crossroads; Continue to Widen the Achievement Gap or Make a Seismic Shift Forward into the 21st Century, became my platform for proposing several changes in our public education system. Among the changes I proposed is discontinuing the practice of failing students and burdening them with the responsibility of being insufficiently educated. Instead I proposed a new practice of assessing errors students make as revelations of learning gaps that are deserving of remedial or additional instruction. But obtaining mastery as a means of demonstrating how well students understand what they are taught ought to be the bar set for all students; including those who earn passing grades of “C” or “B”. Whatever errors are revealed in any student’s work being assessed, all students are deserving of additional instruction and an opportunity to achieve “A’s”, which is universally perceived as obtaining mastery level performance. It’s also how we close academic achievement gaps.  

 

Explain the proudest day of your professional life. 

 

The proudest day of my new and current professional life as a writer was February 1st 2022 when my first book, America’s Educational Crossroads, was published and available to the public, followed by the successful launch of my website. February 2022 was particularly gratifying because I achieved a trifecta; publication of the book, going public with my first website and sharing a video of a contemporary high school campus model featuring a network of career and college prep programs. The Collaborative High School Campus Model, available on the Media Page of my website, illustrates a 21st century model designed to align college and career aspirations of students with their four-year high school educational experience. Pursuing a high school diploma will no longer be just a formality. A more holistic educational experience that links acquiring skills in careers of their own choosing, while receiving quality education at the highest standards will help students find purpose in attending high school. 

 

‘Suzette’s Daddy Issues: A Memoir of Violence and Hope’ Pierces Reader’s Hearts

Every year, over a million books are written and printed, yet only a small number of them have the power to change a reader’s life. The latest title, “Suzette’s Daddy Issues,” by Suzette Shanle, is one of them.

Suzette’s Daddy Issues: A Memoir of Violence and Hope is the story of a little girl reared by a kind and loving mother and her husband, a convicted felon and a lifetime criminal. Her father is not just a violent man; he may be on the run from the mob. If Suzette’s true father would accept her as his own, she wouldn’t have to defend herself all the time. She would then feel protected, joyful, and cherished. The issue is, who precisely is her biological father? Is he her elder brother’s father? For the time being, the heroine of the novel must live with these unresolved issues.

Suzette is a versatile artist who can speak to a person’s soul via her well-written novel. Her education has come from a lifetime of experience. With her debut book, Suzette’s Daddy Issues, she created a well-written piece that pierced through the hearts of its readers. She wrote what she knew, making her debut novel enjoyable and an homage to her tenacious family as they endured decades of criminality and brutality from her various fathers.

The author and writer’s lifelong blend of early art and writing has ensured her success. Her upbeat attitude pervades her work, first in her paintings and later in her most recent clothes collection on “Le Galeriste.” Suzette’s work in both the visual and literary arts has been pivotal for the creative community, exemplifying ingenuity and authenticity for artists and writers.

The book has picked up raving reviews from readers and critics alike. “Suzette Shanle’s “Suzette’s Daddy Issues” was an emotional rollercoaster for me,” says Goodreads reviewer Mark Timberg. “The author poured her heart out on the pages, sharing her greatest concerns, and I felt as if I knew her. This memoir is recommended for individuals who want to understand what it’s like to grow up in a dysfunctional household, be a tiny girl in many terrible situations, and survive. Thank you for sharing your life, Suzzette.”

Suzette feels that being authentic to herself and not creating novels in a cookie-cutter mass production manner that follows market trends is what distinguishes her work. She discovered she had marketing talents early in her twenties and utilized her art as a tool to create fliers and business cards. She likes interacting with others. Hence, her ability to be personable has proven to be her most valuable quality. Suzette was raised with an entrepreneurial mentality and was inspired by her parents, which provided her with the confidence and abilities she needed to launch her first successful firm in her early twenties. Suzette was committed to developing her brand to proceed at a rapid pace and set her own goals.

Currently, the author is enjoying her retirement after thirty years in the beauty industry with her family. She worked with her husband, a prosperous third-generation farmer, and her son, twenty-seven, who completed his preservice and is now working on the farm. As her restless inquiring spirit grows, she has been traveling with her children since they were small. Her two teen daughters also enjoy the journey.

Nurturing Big Dreamers: How Children’s Books Author Shariece Williams Inspires the World

Criticized at a young age for having big dreams, educator and self-published author Shariece Williams knew that she would dedicate her life to uplift children as much as possible. Her lifelong mission is to leave a positive impact on the world by encouraging the youth to believe in their dreams.

Shariece Williams writes fun and exciting stories suitable for children of all ages from different walks of life. Her best work yet, Princess Heart and Penny D children’s books, are making waves across the globe as it brings young readers encouragement, optimism, and hope. Shariece aims to use her talent as a writer to produce creative and motivational stories that make readers feel empowered and worthy of their dreams.

Princess Heart and Penny D’s books tackle real-life issues the youth are facing today—bullying, lack of confidence or self-doubt, and discouragement. “Children should always be encouraged to work hard,” Shariece Williams said. Her books help children navigate the world and understand that even the darkest days contribute to their growth as individuals. “Even if one child crosses my path, I want them to always walk away with a life-learning experience and that no matter who doesn’t believe in you I will always believe in you and want you to be beyond great in any and everything you do,” she added.

“I started off at a young age, always passionate about working with the youth and making a positive impact in as many children’s and families’ lives as I can by any means necessary, such as coaching sports, music, dancing, cheerleading, gymnastics, mentoring, and more,” shared Shariece Williams. Consistently, whether as an author or educator, Shariece has dedicated her efforts to her advocacy even after facing several setbacks.

Despite the failures she experienced in her life, Shariece Williams remained resilient as she explored avenues to exert her passion for the youth. “One dream I always had was to write a children’s book one day—a book that would inspire and motivate children, letting them know that no matter how hard it gets, they should never give up and work hard,” said the author. 

The author has self-published her works four times, releasing her creations within six months. Especially amid the pandemic, Shariece Williams feels that now more than ever, children need to understand the value of having a vision, not only for themselves but also for their generation. The author includes motivational and empowerment skills in her books for readers to learn by themselves at home. As a mother, the author feels even more motivated to ensure that the youth is equipped with a strong will to build themselves and the future. 

Shariece Williams knows how discouragement can anchor one down to the bottom, weighing them down from reaching the surface. The author is a positive light, amplifying the message that the sky has no limit and anyone can go above and beyond what they could even fathom for themselves. One story at a time, the author is indeed fulfilling her purpose and building a legacy.

Asked what she wants to impart to her readers, Shariece Williams proudly said, “Never allow anyone to tell you you can’t do something. Believe in your brand or self, stay dedicated, determined, and never give up on it even when it gets hard and when you doubt yourself. Trust me, it is worth it in the end.”

Shariece Williams was born in Vallejo, California. She received her MA in Education from Norfolk State University in Norfolk, Virginia. Shariece has contributed to various causes for the youth in China, Germany, France, Italy, and the United States. Learn more about the author and her children’s books on her website.

Linda Washington Shares Cancer Survival Journey in New Book

A cancer diagnosis is a nightmare that shakes individuals and families to their core, changing virtually everything about their lives. Linda understands that a great, albeit less talked about, part of a cancer survivors’ journey are the days people struggle with the mental and emotional scars that cancer leaves in its wake. Now, she has released a book that shines a light on the dark moments of cancer’s courageous survivors.

Based in Phoenix, Arizona, Linda Washington is a nurse, singer, author, and breast cancer survivor. Recently, she released a Kindle version of her book Forbidden and Broken: Finding Love Behind the Scars. In the book, Linda details her emotional and heartening story from pre-treatment to post-treatment – the drastic changes from a life filled with hope and happiness to one filled with rejection, pitying looks, and other personal indignities.

Linda once thought that the most challenging thing she had to face was the actual battle with cancer, she believed that once she was done with the treatments, medications, and countless hospital trips, things would go back to normal, but this was not the case – far from it. After her treatments, with her confidence restored, she decided to try dating again but ended up in a physically and verbally abusive relationship where she was constantly belittled and told that she was not a complete woman. It took a tremendous amount of effort, coupled with a friend’s encouragement, for Linda to break free of the daily torment.

Her relationship ordeal left her broken, and she gave up on dating for ten years and counting. Linda’s book was written to help and inspire other survivors, letting them know that they are not alone and do not have to suffer in silence.

“You should be loved for who you are, not what you went through.”

The mother of four understands first-hand how broken someone could be to the extent that they stop believing they deserve to be loved. She also recently released a single called “Missing You,” featuring renowned superstar Lamar. The song is a masterfully written tribute to all the Heroes and Heroines who have survived or are fighting cancer. One can almost touch the feelings she projects into the lyrics and the vocals, reminding them that they are still important and that their identity is not reduced merely to a suffix to a disease.

Linda has chosen to use her successful profile to give hope to those who might be struggling through the same ordeal. Her book and singles are not the work of someone seeking sympathy or attention, but to raise awareness of the vast number of people struggling with far more than the physical scars of their traumatic experience. A true daughter of Phoenix, Arizona in every sense of the word – she has risen from the ashes of profound loss and depression, and now this fighter and warrior lives to enlighten the lives of breast cancer survivors. She has a great passion for those who have given up on finding and believing in love again. And those who live in fear of what their future holds.

“I do not want any other breast cancer survivor to go through what I did. I want them to believe and find love again.”

Linda has successfully transformed her self-image and found her voice again – shedding all the shackles of a defeatist mentality, the pile of rejections, and self-diffident behavior. Through her book, she desires to spread hope and show the world that they can come back stronger and more successful like her. She has made it her purpose to help breast cancer survivors achieve whatever they desire out of life.

Cornell Bunting Inspires People with His Remarkable Life Story

Book author and motivational speaker Cornell Bunting’s life story is something that no one would ever dream of going through in life or deem possible for another human being. What most people would think was the end of the road for the former CEO, after getting convicted and sentenced to spend a lifetime behind bars, turned out to be one of the ultimate tests to his strength of character, faith, and perspective in life. Not giving up was key to his survival while unceasingly appealing his case because of his innocence. How he managed to reverse the court’s decision is a testimony of betrayal, grit, hope, redemption, and awe-inspiring determination, and it now serves as a motivation to many. 

The author of the book Escaping a Life Sentence was convicted for a crime he did not commit. He was accused of 16 charges of conspiracy, extortion, kidnapping, and possible murder in 2013. He was then CEO of a security company and did not foresee the betrayal that would turn his life upside down. All throughout the period where he kept fighting the charges filed against him, he served a total of ten months in jail. Determined not to compromise his integrity and fight for his innocence, he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees. 

Finally, on the third day of his trial in October 2015, after going through a roller coaster of emotions trying to make sense of his plight, Cornell Bunting received the breakthrough he had long been praying for. A witness admitted in court that he helped fabricate a story regarding Bunting’s involvement in the crime. Not long after that phenomenal turn of events, he was released from jail. A year later, his record was expunged, giving him a fresh start as he rebuilt his life with his three sons. 

Interestingly, in the number of months that he spent inside jail, Cornell Bunting was able to author four books. His most popular children’s book, titled Lion with No Roar: Finding His Calling, was a crowd-pleaser, a story that mirrored his struggles while locked behind bars, exposing the heavy emotions he was experiencing while he suffered injustice. 

Just when Cornell Bunting thought that the worst was over for him, the unexpected happened in 2016 while he was attending a church service. In front of 5,000 witnesses, the book author went into cardiac arrest and was declared dead for 16 minutes by medical experts on the scene. Amid the shock and utter disbelief of witnesses, a miraculous act of God brought him back to life. Right then and there, the Jamaica-born author knew that a new beginning had been awarded to him and that his life’s purpose became even clearer. 

Since then, Cornell Bunting has written 30 books, including The Bellman, a story that takes readers deep into the dark twists and turns of the illegal drugs trade. Looking back at how his life turned out, Bunting is nothing but grateful that despite having experienced injustice and a life-threatening ordeal, he has come out triumphant and alive. Understanding that he is only one of the very few who have managed to survive life’s greatest adversities, he is committed to using his second chance to speak encouragement and hope into the lives of his readers. 

With a heart filled with gratitude and a soul that feels compassion for others, Cornell Bunting is making it his lifelong objective to inspire others to rely on their faith and face challenges head-on.

Vanessa Johnson Walking Through Faith Without Limitations

Vanessa Johnson, known as “Fireball,” walks as a Prophetic Voice whom God has called to walk in the offices of Pastor and Prophetess. She was spiritually born on October 23, 1995, ordained and installed as a Pastor in June 2010. Vanessa continues to demonstrate her total commitment, trust, and dependence on God. She has never stopped searching and yearning for the deep things of and about God. She admits that there is more to God than what meets the eye, and there aren’t any limitations to what God can and will do. Vanessa was called into full-time ministry in September 1998 as a Prophetess. Since then, according to her, she has continued to flow with the Father’s heartbeat in the anointing at many different levels of teaching, prophecy, healing, administration, and spiritual warfare.

Vanessa Johnson is also a successful life strategist, mentor, best-selling author with multiple business organizations to her name. She is also the founder of The Fight Is Fixed™ Conglomerate LLC. And even though her success speaks for her, Vanessa has never hidden that her journey had its challenges. She admits that there were times of crying, depression, frustration, and times she wanted to give it all up. Still, thanks to her knowledge of strategies and principles of victory, she was able to walk through it all by trusting God and the Holy Spirit. Now a biological mother to three young adult children and two foster young adults, grandchildren, and several spiritual children under her stewardship, Vanessa is building a future generation of ministers of God, Pastors, and Prophetesses.

Vanessa says the Holy Spirit is why she continues to expand her ministry without limitation and has continued to live and walk by faith, moving through the kingdom of darkness and shaking up the foundation of the kingdom of darkness through intense and unending intercession and spiritual warfare.

When asked what makes her and her ministry different and famous, she says, “I am pioneering my God-given platform from the traumatic experiences I mentioned in addition to almost becoming homeless. I am conquering it all as a bold and courageous woman of influence, power, culture, elegance, and stamina. My passion for helping others has emanated into a journey of helping others overcome the same obstacles in their lives.”  She describes her target audience as people of all races and colors who seek a personal encounter with God, but more importantly, young adults aging out of foster care, single mothers, and survivors of domestic violence.

On her motivation, Vanessa recalls the encounter she had with a strange woman in the early 2000’s when the woman asked her if she could watch her teenage daughter for her while she (the woman) went to take care of some business (serve a prison sentence). To Vanessa, that was where she got a much bigger purpose of being a foster mom and opening a transitional housing facility from which she continues to do to date and is even creating a team of people who are willing to take upon a similar purpose. This was the birthing of B.O.L.T. (Building Overcomers 2 Live Triumphantly) Ministries Inc., now Dunamis Homes of Divine Intervention, to assist young adults who are aging out of foster care as well as learning valuable life skills. Through her other organization, Dunamis Dominion LLC – The Genesis Project, she focuses on helping single mothers and fathers stand on their feet and raise their children without hassle.

When asked where she sees herself and her ministry in five years,’ she said, “Expanding into at least 10-20 states. Speaking on many platforms, including internationally. Empowerment Tours.”
