Stephanie Curry is a Caribbean-Canadian writer, born in Grenada, who now calls Whitby, Ontario her harbour. She celebrates words in any form. She wrote her first poem at age nine.
Her passion is bringing into the light the diverse stories of those whose voices need to be heard, as well as those who have already found their own authentic voice in a variety of genres: fiction, memoir, poetry.
She is a certified facilitator in the Amherst Writers Method and has been holding space offering workshops since 2008. This method offers pertinent prompts and gentle feedback encouraging stories to germinate.
She is also a long-time member of the Writers Community of Durham Region, and this vibrant community feeds her spirit. Recently, she has returned to one of her first loves – intuitive art.
