Crystel Patterson has reinvented herself, becoming an author of a series of children’s books. It was truly a plot twist, as she had a fulfilling career in technology consulting, never considered herself a writer, nor had a passion for writing. The occasions that planted this seed had to do with her two young boys. Her 8-year old, after George Floyd’s murder, asked the question: Why do police keep killing black people? Those were his words, and they stuck with Crystel. She didn’t know how to respond. Her younger, 3-year old son had memorized a book and recited it as it was read to him. She realized that these simple books had the power to change thought, and to plant seeds. She set out to write a series of children’s books with positive messaging for young children of color, with inspiration based on real people. This inspiration crosses over to children of every color and ethnicity, and even adults whose children are touched by these books have said that they wished books like this existed when they were children. Writing is now Crystel’s passion, and it answers the question for her: What are you doing for others?
