Brittney Holmes Jackson is a self-identified multi-passionate creative, who has a passion for helping other creative minds identify their gifts and passions, in order to pursue their divine calling and impact the world around them. An author, educator and mentor, she uses her experience to guide others toward success in business and in life as a creative consultant and coach.
For as long as she can remember, she has loved to read, but for years she had her heart set on becoming a medical doctor. At the age of 14, her longtime appreciation for reading expanded to a love for writing and creating fictional stories of her own. At 16, she became a published author and discovered that while she remained fascinated with the field of medicine, she did not feel about it the way she did writing.
She is a 2012 alumna of the University of Georgia, where she earned dual degrees during her 4-year tenure: a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism (a degree for which she was also named "Grady Ambassador" from UGA's Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication). Selected by Teach for America to help mold and educate young minds, she taught elementary education in the school systems of Jacksonville, FL for three years before shifting back to Atlanta where she continue to serve as an educator and mentor.
In pursuit of her passion, she made a future career change and decided that as she obtained a higher education, she would focus on subjects that would expand her command of the English language and sharpen her skills as a creative writer. She am now the author of several bestselling novels and the recipient of many literary honors including Essence Bestselling Author, Black Expressions Bestselling Author, the 2007 Yale Book Award, the 2007 AALAS Best Young Adult Fiction Award, induction into the National Association of Black Journalists, and induction into Who's Who In Black Atlanta.
She is the founder of R.A.D.I.A.N.C.E., LLC., a nonprofit mentoring group for young ladies, ages 10-18 years, and The Proverbs 31 Collective, LLC, a network for women in business that provides access to affordable resources with the purpose of helping them achieve entrepreneurial success. She is also a devastating diva of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated and a member of the national writer's fellowship, M-PACT Writers.
