Meet the Writer Whose Artistry is Going to be on Display at the Smithsonian Craft Show!
Colors of Life newsletter #2: Introducing Valerie Cox, a woman of many talents
As some of you may know, blogging has been my main hobby for the past two years. In addition to writing on 2 platforms, Medium and Newsbreak, I also share my time and talent with causes that are close to my heart like Here to Serve, a nonprofit that provides wrap-around services for pediatric cancer patients.
It is in this capacity that I met fellow blogger and team leader, Valerie Cox. I was immediately drawn to her warm personality and the efficient way she handles the agenda for the content writing team. When Valerie mentioned that she is also an artist who embroiders short stories as well as poems onto garments and is soon going to be featured at the Smithsonian Craft Show, I immediately knew I had to interview her!
In addition to being a writer and artist, Valerie has had a long career in communications and fundraising for non-profit organizations and has recently started focusing on her creative talents. Coming from a family of international travelers and storytellers, she feels her design company, Vervet Noir, is a natural result of her life experiences. Her byline is Threading a Story.
