Join us for this talk with Stephany Coakley, author of Tye the Dreamer.

Tye the Dreamer is a story about a daddy’s girl who has a big heart and bigger dreams. She loves her cat, her friends, and her community. Tye lives with her father who loves and supports her dreams unconditionally. One day he gives her a gift, and they couldn’t predict how the gift would influence her ambition. She learns that knowing what she wants and believing in herself are the cornerstones to joy.

About the author:

Stephany C. Coakley is a lifelong learner. She was born in the Bahamas and now lives in Philadelphia. Her motivation for writing this book is two-fold. She wants to encourage the young, and the young at heart, to dream BIG and take steps to make their dreams a reality. You only live once. She also wanted to celebrate the nurturing qualities of fathers and highlight the special relationship between fathers and their daughters. Stephany has worked with young people for most of her career; however, when this book was written, she worked with children and adolescents who rarely dreamed about their futures because of their circumstances.  Empowering others to dream and envision success energizes her. She is grateful to God for allowing her to publish this book this year when dreaming about what is possible is vital.
