About the Author

Kimberly Griffin is a wife, blogger, stylist, foodie, and full time stay at home mother of two daughters. Although she holds a Bachelor’s degree in Fashion Merchandising from The University of North Texas, her creative drive has allowed her to add author to her list of credentials.
“Mama Braids” was originally written in 2004 for an extra credit assignment in Kimberly’s college English course. At the encouragement of her professor, she decided to pursue publishing the poem and adapted it into a children’s book. “I wanted to leave a legacy for my daughters with this work as well as inspire young readers to stand proud of the traditions of their heritage.”
