Sistahs on Lit speaks with Crystal Alexis

Crystal Alexis was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, where she attended Richards Career Academy. While in school, she aspired to become an accountant, however she earned a degree in Automotive Technology and several certificates  in Pharmacy Technology and Bill Collecting. Crystal spent a few years as manager of Jeffy Lube.

 After years of reading and running a book club, she grew a passion for writing. In 2013 she signed to Creative Flow Publications, where she published Social Deception 1 & 2. More recently, Crystal has become a member of K Ellis Publications and part owner on SWAG Presents with Yara Kaleemah. She also co-hosts Gossip Village Radio and took part in developing  “Please Don’t Kill Me:  An Anthology against Domestic Violence.” Though Crystal’s greatest joy comes from being an outstanding mother to her two children, Tres’ore and Jalil, and being a caregiver to her mother, she would say that writing has changed her life.
