Hello there!
I'm T.L. Johnson
The creative mind behind the Mini Monarchs series. I'm on a mission to "Change the Narrative" for African American parents and children, and I'm passionate about creating stories that are personal and relatable.
As an author, I pour my heart and soul into each book, like "Nefertiti the Great Lake" and "Ramses & The Great Wonder," where I bring to life the greatness of African civilizations and their iconic leaders, including Cleopatra the Wise and Tut the Generous. I believe that representation matters, and I'm dedicated to empowering African American children by showcasing their heritage, culture, and history in my stories.
But my writing is not just about education, it's also about heart. I infuse warmth and compassion into every word I write, creating stories that resonate with both parents and children alike. As an African American author, I understand the power of storytelling in shaping the narrative and inspiring young minds.
Join me on this incredible journey to "Change the Narrative" and let's create a world where every child, regardless of their ethnicity, can see themselves reflected in the stories they read. Together, we can make a difference, one page at a time. So grab a copy of my Mini Monarchs series and let's change the narrative together!
FromNefertiti & The Great LakeandRamses & The Great WondertoThe Superhero In Youseries and festive hits likeThe Christmas Closer, my stories celebrate the beauty, brilliance, and boundless potential within African American children. I have a deep belief in highlighting culture, identity, and heritage while crafting stories that spark imagination and build confidence in every child.
Beyond books, I’ve created empowering merchandise, bundles, and resources that bring these stories to life and make learning exciting for kids everywhere. Whether it’s finding the hero inside with Dream Big or exploring African history through unforgettable tales, I pour heart, purpose, and vision into every project.
Join me on this journey to inspire greatness—one story, one child, one dream at a time.
