Change Her Story Is Changing The Publishing Model!
Nakia Kelley's journey to publishing inspired her to do things differently. Her servant's heart wanted to open the doors to publishing to more women. Many women she met with wanted to publish, but could not afford to take the leap.

However, this little idea to start a publishing company has morphed into something bigger than she ever could have imagined. You will want to listen to see how this dream has expanded in many different ways.
This episode will inspire you, and maybe help you find your first publisher!
