While in college, she began writing encouraging stories and poems for young adults. In 2005, she turned to a focus in children’s fiction on sensitive and important issues after she began writing bedtime story’s and poems for her nephews about a group of friends who live on a street called Tulvia Lane. Even after they grew past adolescence, for eight years, Nakeshia continued writing her ideas and concepts for the Tulvia Lane stories, eventually developing a multibook children’s series. Those years she took care and time to ensure the series was viable and based with sound psychology teachings.
In 2013, Nakeshia published the first book from the series named “Gammie”, the book became an instant success. With each subsequent year the book’s sales continues to grow exponentially, encouraging the release of more books in the series.
Since penning her books, she has published articles on Thrive Global, Arianna Huffington’s behavior change, health and wellness site and has been featured by Kirkus Review, Publishers Weekly, Jack and Jill of America, News channel 5, News channel 8 and various schools and libraries.
Nakeshia Nickerson now writes full-time. She lives in Cleveland, Ohio with her family.view less
