Interview with Dr. Tesha M. Thompson

Published 2020-07-03.
Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
The Aesop Fables are my first set of stories. Certainly, these remain inspirational and they stirred change in me even as a child. Thus, The Fox and the Crow stands out as an all -time favorite. The message is powerful. I am not easily flattered.
When did you first start writing?
As a child, I wrote many letters to my grandmother and to my friends. Of course, there were no cellphones at that time. However, at my church, I was Editor-in-Chief for a newsletter of the youth department. I absolutely enjoyed that ministry. Following that, I was Editor for a magazine and I also wrote for a local newspaper for about two years. I interviewed children ( with their parents' permission) and wrote about their experiences of faith.
What type of writing do you prefer?
Admittedly, I like to research then produce devotionals. Secondly, I like newsletters and newspapers.
What's the story behind your latest book?
As a communication specialist, I wanted to focus on how our speech is important and how it affects the direction of our lives.

Thus, I am excited to get this one in the hands of people locally, regionally and globally. People will be SPEAKing about it!

It promises to transform speech.
What inspires you to get out of bed each day?
Living on purpose, helping many connected to me , family, friends, etc. to make it through their day.
As an entrepreneurial linguist, how do you use the gift of writing?
Well, I edit, proofread, produce content, translate, interpret.

Thus, I am often times writing for the pleasure or ease of others.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
Educating, informing, inspiring others in order that truth causes transformation in them.
What do your readers mean to you?
I keep them in mind as God uses me as a channel or a pencil to reach to them.

Thus, they are very important to this writing process.

They are primarily why I write, create content or edit.
What are you working on next?
It's a surprise!
Do you believe that people read alot?
No, especially wholesome literature. It should be consumed more.
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
Nurturing family relationships and exploring my other Spiritual gifts.
