Bio: Danielle D. Smith has striven for years to give her all in every aspect of her life while enduring the pain of abuse— physical and mental—as well as rejection from her parents and family. At first, all of this gave her a reason for a pity party, but later, it became her strength and her reason "why." She used God's help to prove the doubters wrong and is now excelling as the mother of a beautiful daughter, a community leader, and a writing and publishing consultant to many who have stories and messages to share. Danielle is now taking on the task of using her role as an author beyond her book, Yesterday’s Tomorrow, which was released in December 2016 under the pen name Danielle Seck.

Yesterday’s Tomorrow is a first-hand account of Danielle’s suffering as an abused child. After finding the courage to speak out about the pain she endured, Danielle uses her experience to inspire others to do the same.

In July 2019, Danielle turned her book into a short film that gives a visual account of her book and walks you through the challenge of going from victim to victor. As a result of the award-winning film, Danielle has been sought out by conferences and organizations across the map to teach authors how to do the same with their literary projects. In addition, Danielle is a passionate speaker that brings people together through shared experiences, taking away the struggle of beginning the healing process alone.

One day, while teaching at Ohio Media School, Danielle found herself in an in-depth conversation with a student about their future in media. This gave Danielle the initial idea to form the Columbus Film, Author, and Photography Festival. She spoke with business strategist, Lucinda Cross, and began to envision the possibilities for igniting the passion that our youth have for media. She was emboldened by the idea of showing them how to work in excellence as well as how to strive for their dreams. This turned into the creation of the Columbus F.A.P. Festival, which is built to showcase local, national, and international artists, while also highlighting the work of our youth.

Bio: As an experienced Secondary English teacher in Columbus City Schools since 2001, I have a deep passion for reading, writing, and the art of improving written work. Guiding individuals in understanding the intricacies of the English language and creating high-quality documents brings me immense joy. With a strong background in the writing process, MLA format, and writing conventions such as capitalization, grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and spelling, I am well-equipped to enhance any piece of writing.

My educational journey began at Northland High School, from where I graduated in 1997. Following that, I pursued a degree in Secondary Education - Integrated Reading & Language Arts (grades 7 - 12) at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, which I successfully obtained in 2001. In 2006, I furthered my knowledge by completing a Master's degree in Education Administration and obtaining my Principal Licensure in 2013. Despite my extensive experience, I continue to find immense fulfillment as a classroom teacher in public education!
