Book Deal Announcement

My first traditionally published book, THE UNCLES, is scheduled to be released Spring 2026.

This book is dedicated to my God-nephew and the men who have stepped in to make sure he has the love and support he needs. This story is also dedicated in memory of his mother, the late Shatara Jones. She was a beautiful young woman who loved God, her family, and her church.

I would like to thank Denene Millner, Simon & Schuster, Hilary Harwell, and Chelsea Hensley for taking a chance on me and this story. A special thank you to Kailei Pew and the PB Rising Stars Mentorship Program. Kailei was my mentor and helped me work on this story to get it perfect to go on submission.

Thank you to my husband, Robert Williams, for always supporting me and listening to my stories. I love you!

I also give all glory and honor to God for all the great and wonderful things He is doing in my life. It is this gift of writing that he bestowed upon me and I will not take it for granted. A special shout out to Overseers Drs. Claude & Regina Harris, Senior Pastor Claude Harris, Jr., Elder Danielle Hayes and the entire New Life Worship Center family. Being a part of this ministry has taught me how to serve God, serve others, and to pursue the things of God which are always in line with your purpose.

And finally, THE UNCLES is my love letter to all the black men who are serving as positive role models in any and all capacities to our young black girls and boys, especially black boys. We see you and we love you!
