The Truths We Hide

Avery Stenstrom is an 18-year-old high school senior who began her writing journey at the age of 14 one summer day while spending time with family on vacation in West Virginia.

Avery's journey into writing came as she struggled to come to terms with her early childhood trauma and her struggles with her ADHD, Dyslexia, and anxiety. Heart of the Beast was created out of her pain, an escape from the chaos both internal and external. She vibrantly builds on her experience through sharing her struggles with each character representing the challenges between anger and joy, hatred and forgiveness, reluctance and determination.

Avery graduates from The Lab School of Washington in 2022 and is planning to enter Hofstra University in the coming fall. As she begins this next phase of her life, one thing is for certain, Avery sees the power of expression through word and/or art as the foundation to whatever journey unfolds before her.

Shaniqua Dupree is a Business Consultant and Income Strategist at Launching With Purpose, a mom of three, a United States Navy Veteran with 11 years of service. But most importantly she is a faithful believer in Jesus Christ. It’s because of her faith in Him that she decided to write her first book, I AM PROFITABLE. Her profound understanding of purpose and profit was the intent of its creation. When she began the journey of discovering who she was created to be and what she was created to do in the world, she realized that she was born to impact. And not only her, but everyone was created to impact. She began to understand that the biggest thing stopping people from being impactful and doing what they were created to do, was money, time, and the understanding of life’s purpose. In her book, she set out to help people realize that because of their experience alone, they are purposeful and they are profitable.
