Audra’s origins are humble; born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, in an extremely unstable household to a mother who suffered in silence with mental illness. As a result, she found herself homeless at the age of 15, a single mother at 17 with a straight shot down a dark path. Now here’s the good news, through prayer, a new community, and daily positive beliefs, SHE KNEW that she deserved more. Fast forward, she earned her Bachelor degree, her MBA and NOW living her best life.

Today, she is a straightforward, no-nonsense publishing consultant who helps women, with a clear vision and a market-ready story, create and produce high-level author collaborations that not only transform lives, but create unparalleled opportunities to evolve and grow in business.

While Audra believes in the power of telling your story she also understands how a single story can generate wealth and create a lasting legacy. Through her world-class coaching and consulting programs, Audra has committed her life to helping women tell their stories, create results, and change the world with the power of the pen.
