A native of St. Louis, Kimberley Crouch graduated with a degree in Journalism from the University of Missouri-Columbia and a law degree from the University of Illinois-Champaign-Urbana.

Writing has always been her passion. As a child, Kim spent hours writing books and poetry as well as television and film scripts. As an intern reporter for The St. Louis Post Dispatch, Kim researched and wrote about many issues facing urban youth including an in depth look at life in the Blumeyer Housing Projects. In 2000, Kim decided to pursue her passion for writing again and founded Life Works Productions, a production company geared toward the empowerment of women. The company currently produces both an inspirational newsletter and one devoted to helping women create and keep wealth. In April 2006, Kim founded First Generation Publishing, a publishing company that publishes and markets books that address issues of concern to African-Americans. In June 2006, she published her first book: Mother To Son: Words of Wisdom, Inspiration and Hope for Today’s Young African-American Men.

Kim recently received her certificate in feature film writing from UCLA and is working on various projects. She is married and the mother of two boys. She is also a board member of Urban Opportunities, a nonprofit focused on at-risk youth, and 4 His Glory Ministries, a faith based community organization. She is also a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., and the American Bar Association.
