This week on the podcast, we sit down with indie author Samarra St. Hilaire, MS, OTR/L , who recently released her debut YA novel, Brushed Between Cultures. A compelling story about navigating cultural expectations, chasing dreams, and the unshakable bond of friendship, Samarra’s book is a must-read for anyone balancing tradition and independence. Beyond her work as an author, Samarra brings over 22 years of experience as an occupational therapist working with children. In this episode, she shares how her Haitian upbringing in Brooklyn shaped her writing, the lessons she’s learned as a self-published author, and how her career as a therapist influenced her ability to create relatable, multidimensional characters. Tune in as we explore the powerful themes of resilience, identity, and the courage it takes to follow your own path. Whether you're an aspiring author, a creative navigating family expectations, or simply looking for inspiration, this conversation is for you. #careeradvancement #nuance #culture #myjourney 📖 Brushed Between Cultures is available now on Amazon! 🎧 Listen to the episode and join the conversation!
