6:45 speaker – STELLA POPE DUARTE, award-winning author, educator and community activist                                                                      

Acclaimed author, Stella Pope Duarte, is described by reviewers as a “magical weaver with a sure hand and a pure heart,” and as an author who “will enlarge humanity.” Her literary awards include a 2009 American Book Award, a Pulitzer Prize nomination and a Book Sense 76 Selection. She believes that writing, like love, begins within, or it doesn’t start at all.

Embracing someone else’s life is one of the most challenging things a writer can do. Biographical writing is precise and goal oriented, yet soul-searching and rich with anecdotes and stories that reveal the layers of another’s life. Weaving thousands of elements together to get at the heart of a story is a daunting task, but there is an internal road map to follow, and the light at the end of the tunnel comes through trusting yourself from first page to last.
