Tope at Decatur Book Festival
The 2025 Decatur Book Festival (DBF) is a milestone celebration—marking 20 years of honoring stories, voices, and imagination in the vibrant city of Decatur, Atlanta. Over the past two decades, the festival has grown into one of the largest community-based celebrations of literature, drawing authors, poets, publishers, booksellers, and book lovers from all walks of life.
This year, I am honored to be part of the DBF’s 20th anniversary Book Festival, where I will be exhibiting my books: Love In Cancun, Soulful Whispers, What Color Is Your Money?, and A Mile in My Shoes. Each of these books reflects a unique journey—through love, financial empowerment, or storytelling that uplifts and inspires. For me, this is more than an exhibition; it is an opportunity to connect with readers, spark reflection, and invite meaningful conversations.
Alongside my work, I will also be showcasing books from fellow authors and friends, including Dr. Otito Iwuchukwu, author of The Belonging Paradox, and Dr. Olasumbo Adelakun, author of You Are Enough: Defying Expectations and Thriving Beyond Skin Tone Bias.
The festival is more than a showcase; it is a movement that affirms the power of storytelling to bridge cultures, challenge norms, and shape a better future. I look forward to celebrating the voices of African women and diasporan authors who bring depth, resilience, and brilliance to the literary table.
Join us in Decatur as we honor the written word, amplify diverse voices, and mark this historic anniversary. It’s also the perfect chance to grab a copy of my books and others, engage in thought-provoking dialogue, and experience the magic that happens when stories meet hearts.
