MY STORY is my SUPERPOWER
The world doesn’t need perfection—it needs our stories. Because when we share them with courage and compassion, our stories become more than words—they become our greatest superpower.

ERIKA J KENDRICK
EVERY SUPERPOWER has an origin story
I’m a bestselling author, award-winning speaker, and mental health advocate, but at my core, I’m a storyteller. I believe stories have the power to save lives—because they saved mine.
On stage, I use story to equip audiences with tools for resilience, hope, and mental fitness. In advocacy, I share stories that heal, connect, and remind people they are not alone. And through my middle-grade novels, I tell stories filled with friendship, joy, and belonging—because every generation deserves to see themselves in the pages they read.
No matter where you meet me—on stage or on the page—my mission is the same: to use story as a lifeline of hope, courage, and connection.
Speaking Partnerships
MY STORY IS RAW, REAL AND DEEPLY MOVING but what makes my keynote powerful is how I have

you can actually use.

STORIES that stay WITH YOU
SPEAKER
I believe stories save lives—because they saved mine. My passion is to use every stage and every page to remind people they are not alone, their story matters, and they are stronger than they realize.
For me, this work isn’t about filling seats or selling books. It’s about creating moments of transformation—moments where resilience feels possible, where hope feels real, and where people walk away believing in themselves again.
I DON’T JUST SPEAK—I shift rooms.
MENTAL HEALTH ADVOCATE
STORIES that heal
Mental health isn’t a side conversation; it’s the foundation of how we live, work, and lead. Storytelling brings it out of the shadows, making hard truths relatable and real. By sharing stories of struggle and resilience, the message becomes clear: healing is possible, connection saves lives, and hope is a strategy. These stories create space for courage, compassion, and wellness in a world that desperately needs it.
LET’S GET TO WORK
HOW to work with ERIKA?
Every partnership starts with one goal: creating transformation through story. Whether it’s speaking at your conference, equipping your team with tools for resilience, or bringing hope and mental fitness into your community, I work with you to design an experience that meets your people exactly where they are—and leaves them stronger than before.
Every audience, team, and community deserves more than inspiration—they deserve transformation. I partner with organizations, schools, and readers in three powerful ways, all rooted in the same belief: stories are lifelines.
You can work with me in three powerful ways:
Book me to deliver keynotes that move people from burnout to resilience and from fear to courage. My talks blend story and strategy to give audiences tools they can use today—and truths they’ll carry for a lifetime.
