Award-winning author Judy Pearson’s writing journey began in her youth, perched in a tree, where she first penned her thoughts on life and current events. A graduate of Michigan State University, Pearson has authored newspaper and magazine articles, alongside three books. Her initial works delved into biographies of ordinary individuals displaying extraordinary courage, with one being optioned for a film adaptation. A life-altering event inspired her third book, 'It’s Just Hair: 20 Essential Life Lessons,' the first in a series designed to help readers navigate life's journey with courage and humor. Pearson also founded Courage Concepts, an organization dedicated to cultivating courage in women.
