About
WHERE EVERY STORY MATTERS
Author | Speaker | Coach
Hello! I am Courtney Tate, Ph.D., an author, speaker, and coach who believes in the power of stories and words to help people feel seen, build confidence, and find encouragement.
Through my children’s books, devotionals, prayer resources, and affirmations, I create opportunities for readers to see themselves reflected in the stories they read, recognize their worth, and embrace personal growth.
Beyond writing, I enjoy connecting with audiences through author visits, speaking engagements, and meaningful conversations that inspire reflection and connection.
The Story Behind the Words
My journey as an author began in the classroom, where I recognized the need for more stories that reflected the identities, cultures, and everyday experiences of children of color. I wanted children to see themselves in the books they read and connect with stories that celebrated experiences familiar to them.
Over time, that same desire to encourage and affirm others expanded beyond children’s literature. I began creating resources for girls and women, including affirmation cards designed to nurture confidence and devotional and prayer books that invite women to pause, reflect, and find encouragement.
Although these resources serve different audiences, they share a common purpose: helping people feel seen, recognize their worth, and find encouragement through the words they read and the experiences they share.
