Lakeshia Poole has always loved a good story. Whether telling her own inspiring and thrilling tales through her publishing company Luemarie or empowering businesses and aspiring authors to craft their best stories, she believes that words have the power to change the world.

Lakeshia has served as a speaker and trainer before a variety of audiences, ranging from small, intimate groups to stages before hundreds — no matter the size, listeners feel seen and leave inspired. 

As a writing coach, she empowers aspiring and emerging authors to tell better stories and publish polished and professional books with ease.

For over 20 years, busy corporate executives, thought leaders and entrepreneurs have counted on her to write and develop content that reflects their expertise and experiences. She blends faith-based principles with corporate best practices to help them shine. 

When she’s not dreaming up new story ideas or helping people take better care of their words and stories, Lakeshia spends time with family or relaxing on her porch reading and sipping coffee.
