Kindi L
Kindi became aware of her writing potential when her third grade teacher required her to enter a contest. To her surprise, the effortlessly written poem about her big toe took first place.

Despite a successful career including Director positions for three separate companies, she was unfulfilled. While working for a company offering online storytelling courses, she surrendered to her passion, dropped the nine to five, and pursued a writing career.
