Today we’d like to introduce you to Letisha Holt.
Letisha, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
One day I was doing laundry, and while I was loading the dryer, my 5-year-old son, who was three years old at the time was unloading it and putting the clothes on the floor. He had a great desire to help, but despite the extra work he caused, I couldn’t help but appreciate his enthusiasm. And I came up with the idea to write a children’s book about him helping me around the house. I wrote out my manuscript and then started my search to find an illustrator. After I found my illustrator for my book, it all came together. Kamrin is a Big Helper is available in eBook and print formats on Target.com, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Books a Million and Walmart.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It hasn’t been a smooth road. Initially, I wrote the book but it took me two years to find an illustrator to capture my vision, and this was my first book so it has been a learn-as-you-go experience for me. Nevertheless a great experience!
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I am an Assistant Property Manager for a prestigious property management company. I am currently studying for my real estate license as well.
Can you share something surprising about yourself?
That I am very shy! I know my besties wouldn’t agree lol, but I am very shy and even with my projects. Presenting Kamrin Is A Big Helper to the world was very scary for me.
