Demetria Nickens
Demetria Dove Nickens was born and bred from Winston-Salem, NC where she was raised by a single mother. Her mother, Valeria, is the reason why she is an advocate for children, has a strong faith in God, and has compassion for those less fortunate. Demetria is a first-generation graduate with two Bachelor of Arts degrees and a Master of Science degree in Counseling Psychology. Demetria is happily married with an energetic 4-year-old son that lights up her life every time he smiles. He is the reason she writes children's books. She has a full-time job in higher education serving students with disabilities, and in her spare time works tirelessly serving others through community service and being present with her family, immediate and extended.
