I’ll be at the Books & Authors event at Leon & Lulu in Clawson, Michigan on Sunday, October 19 from 10am-5pm. 

This event is a celebration of Michigan writers, readers, and stories of all kinds—fiction, inspirational, children’s books, and more. It benefits the Oakland Literacy Council and is one of my favorite spaces to connect in person. 

I’ll be there with Losing A Friendship, Finding Myself, ready to meet you, sign your copy, and hear your story. If you’re in the area, I’d love to see you at Leon & Lulu!

Berthanna Oxendine is a faith-driven leader, speaker, and host of The Exchange Show - a platform where real conversations meet spiritual growth. Through her ministry work and writing (including her feature in Divine Shift: From Religion to Relationship), Berthanna reminds us that faith isn’t just about ritual - it’s about genuine connection, transformation, and walking in relationship with God every day.

She’s the kind of woman who uses her voice to lift others, her story to inspire, and her platform to build bridges between people and purpose.

Join this episode with host Berthanna Oxendine and Nicole Kelly.

Hey friends — I’m so excited to share that I’ll be part of the Empowered Moms event on October 5th! I’m honored to be the bag sponsor this year, and even more thrilled to give Losing A Friendship, Finding Myself to every attendee.

This event is all about strengthening moms, celebrating the journey, and creating space for healing and connection. I believe deeply that stories matter — that when we see ourselves in someone else’s journey, we find courage to step into our own. I hope my book can be that spark for you or for a mom you love.

If you’re attending Empowered Moms, thank you. I can’t wait to meet you, hear your story, and walk alongside you in this moment.

Each summer and fall, downtown Brighton’s Hyne Alley transforms into a vibrant outdoor marketplace for book lovers and writers alike. Hosted by 2 Dandelions Bookshop, Author’s Alley celebrates Michigan’s rich literary talent by bringing together local and self‑published authors to share their stories, sign books, and connect directly with readers.

Set against the lively backdrop of Brighton’s Saturday Farmers’ Market, this free, family‑friendly event invites visitors to browse a diverse selection of genres—from fiction and poetry to memoir, children’s books, and beyond. Authors set up along the charming brick walkway between Oh My Lolli and Brighton Bar & Grill, turning the alley into an open‑air bookstore where conversations and creativity flow.

For participating authors, Author’s Alley offers a unique opportunity to showcase work, meet fans, and be part of a thriving literary community. Whether you’re discovering a new favorite book or getting a signed copy from a Michigan author, Author’s Alley is all about celebrating stories and the people who tell them.

From Meghan Stimmel, Host of Apricity Podcast:

“I never dreamed that 'my little podcast project' would be such a stepping stone for women to share their story and their voice.

A platform that leads you into further purpose.

Nicole Kelly is a ray of beautiful light. I am honored to know her. And I was so blessed to have this conversation with her.

Nicole is a true example of someone who isn't letting anything stop her from stepping into what God has called her to do. She wakes up at 4am every morning to write. To reflect and give herself space to let her soul sing. To become familiar with herself and the path she has walked so she can better help others.

SHE WROTE A BOOK! And she is just getting started. Nicole uses her voice to speak and change the world. She is brave, courageous, smart, beautiful and knows that her story is meant to be a guidebook to others who are currently stuck where she has already broken free.

I love you Nicole! Thank you for sharing your afternoon with me. Thank you for sharing your voice with me. Thank you for sharing your story with me and with the world.

Nicole Kelly is a first-time author with a passion for helping others unlock their full potential. After years of battling self-doubt and searching for her purpose, she was inspired to write “Losing a Friendship, Finding Myself” to share the tools and insights that have transformed her own life. She offers a fresh perspective on building self-confidence and overcoming limiting beliefs, empowering readers to create a life they truly love. When not writing, Nicole enjoys spending time with her family and their dog Rocky. Connect with Nicole at nicolekellyinc.com or on instagram @nicoletkelly
