Reflecting on an Incredible Book Tour Journey

As I sit and reflect on the whirlwind of events that have unfolded over the past couple of months, my heart is full of gratitude and joy. My book release tour for Christel’s Breaking News has been nothing short of incredible, and I’m thrilled to share the highlights of this journey with you.


The Launch Event (October 12, 2024)

The official launch of Christel’s Breaking News was held at ABC15 Arizona, and what a remarkable event it was! The energy in the room was electric as I connected with attendees who expressed their genuine love for the book. We had an engaging tour of the studio and a heartfelt conversation about my journey in journalism. The support and enthusiasm from everyone there truly set the tone for the tour.



Kansas City Tour Stops (October 24-26, 2024)

From Arizona, the tour headed to Kansas City, where we had a series of unforgettable events:


  • Wonderscope Children’s Museum: Kicking off the Kansas City leg at Wonderscope was a delight. The children were captivated by the reading session, and the positive feedback from parents and educators affirmed the impact of the book.


  • Intimate Book Signing in Raytown: The Raytown signing was a cozy and personal experience. It gave me a chance to have meaningful conversations with attendees about the inspiration behind the book.


  • Friendship Baptist Church: The tour concluded in Kansas City with a heartwarming event at Friendship Baptist Church. I was overwhelmed by the turnout—a line wrapped around the gym and a sell-out crowd! Special thanks to Pastor Terrance and First Lady for their hospitality and support.



South Carolina School Visits (November 7-8, 2024)

Our journey then led us to South Carolina, where I visited several schools, including Browns Ferry Elementary, McDonald Elementary, Hemingway Elementary, and the Village Group in Georgetown and Williamsburg counties. These visits were deeply meaningful, especially given the challenges many families in the area are facing due to the recent closure of a local paper mill, which resulted in over 700 layoffs.


The reception from the children was beyond anything I could have imagined. At one school, the kids erupted into cheers as I entered, and their excitement touched my heart deeply. I shared with them a message of hope, faith, and the greatness that lies within each of them. To know that nearly 600 children received a copy of my book is a blessing I will always cherish.



Sharing the Message of Christel’s Breaking News

Through Christel’s Breaking News, I aim to inspire children to dream big, see themselves where they want to be, and trust that their prayers and aspirations are heard. My journey—from journalism to becoming an author—is a testament to the power of faith, perseverance, and believing in oneself.


I’m humbled by the opportunity to share my story with the world and to witness how the book is resonating with so many. To everyone who has supported me along the way—thank you. Your encouragement fuels my passion to keep inspiring the next generation.


Stay tuned for more updates as this journey continues. The best is yet to come!
