Guest Testimonials
I had the pleasure of being a guest on The Author’s Mic with Kelly, and it was such a meaningful experience. Kelly created a warm and welcoming space that allowed me to speak from the heart with genuine sincerity. Our conversation about podcasting as a powerful marketing tool flowed naturally, and her thoughtful questions made it easy to share valuable insights with her audience. Kelly has a gift for drawing out authentic stories and perspectives, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to have been part of her show.
It was great being on The Author's Mic with Kelly Morgan! We had such a meaningful conversation about the need for Black voices in the educational space and how "The Culturally Competent Educator" addresses a critical gap in K-12 education professional learning.
Kelly's genuine passion for amplifying diverse authors really shines through. She asked thoughtful questions that allowed me to share the heart of my work in educational equity. Her professionalism and the quality of her show make The Author's Mic a platform I'd highly recommend to any author with an important message to share.
Keep doing the amazing work you're doing, Kelly!
