About Me:
Speaker & Poet

Traci Neal

• Born March 8, 1989.

• Originally from Hopkins, SC.

• Discovers her gift of poetry at age 14.

• The discovery comes from her 7th-grade teacher from Hopkins Middle School.

• The class assignment is to write a poetry book.

• Poetry becomes her outlet from bullying & low-self esteem.

• Her passion for public speaking comes ten years later.

​

• Initially does not see writing as a "stable career".

• Kept trying to become an elementary school teacher.

• Fails the Praxis II Exam 10x.

• Feels like a total failure.

• God had a different plan.

• Through spiritual guidance in character development at church, Word of God Church & Ministries International with Bishop Eric W. Davis, she becomes a better woman of God.

​

• Now wants to share her life lessons in her book series, Lynn Learns Lessons, to help inspire youth.

• Target readers are from 8 to 12 years old.

• There are eight more books to write.

• Believes Jesus is the better option! Everything else left her empty.

• Favorite thing to tell people- "The world does not impress me!"

​

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
