Meet the BX Storyteller

 Empress Simone, affectionately called Empress, was born and raised in the Bronx of New York City, where she was educated in the Catholic School system. She attended Ashford University, where she earned her bachelor’s degree with honors in Journalism and Mass Communications with a minor in Sociology, graduating with a cumulative GPA of 3.53. She turned her hobby into a new career and is now a “professional genealogist,” focusing on African American Family Research. Her goals are to become a powerhouse in the Independent Journalism field. One step she has taken to accomplish this is attending Full Sail University for its New Media Journalism master’s degree program. Empress’s estimated graduation date is April 2021.

Empress Simone has published numerous Urban Fiction novels and all sub-categories. She is working on solo projects, including a new oracle and tarot card line named ‘Enchanted Empress Magical World of Oracles and Tarot’ due to be released at the beginning of 2021.

As an indie author, she has made the Amazon best sellers list various times and placed twice on UBAWA’s Top 100 African-American Authors for 2017 and 2018. She also ghostwrites for others who can’t seem to find the words to fit their vision of a best-selling novel.

Empress Simone is a member of the New York Association for Black Journalists. She hopes to network with those she admires in the journalism field and make valuable connections for a lifetime. Empress Simone’s mantra is “Power in the Pen,” and she has promised to dedicate her career as one who will use her words for the benefit of the community she holds dearly, ‘The black and Urban Community.” Speaking of which, you may find her magazine ‘Strictly for My People: An Urban Literary Magazine – The Rebirth Collection’ on magcloud.com along with the first SFMP issues published in 2016.

If that is not enough, be on the lookout for even more projects as Empress plans a three-city tour after the 2020 pandemic. Empress is also an Executive Producer of a film still in production titled ‘Old Head’ created and produced by CEO Sid of Platfrm Films, and Empress is diligently working on a spiritual journey web series. Plus, her Jaguar Fon’s Life Coaching Services LLC Corporation will be launched by May 2021. As a result, be prepared to network with her as Empress will continue her life purpose, telling informative news and fiction stories.
