Brooke Parker, EditorAs a military wife for 12 years and a mom of two boys, I relish my time with family. I am an educator by trade; I have taught in several states and across multiple grade levels. I am called to serve the next generation which I first did in the classroom and continue to invest in my boys. Presently, that calling led me to be the Rooted Moms editor serving women as they reach moms and as the Director of Preschool at Little Promises Preschool in North Carolina. I am honored to serve alongside those who love and care for the next generation too.

Heather KennyMy name is Heather Kenny and I love investing in people! Though I started out working as a registered nurse in cardiac care for almost 15 years, God has steered me into several different directions since then. His plan included years in children's ministry and eventually leadership development in local churches, a gig as a church consultant, and currently I co-own/manage a beach club in Placencia, Belize! My husband and I have been married for almost 24 years. Our older son is in the Air Force, and our younger son lives with us here in a little wooden house on the beautiful beach of Belize. I try to capture some of the lessons God is teaching me through my blog, www.leadingfromthedeepend.com.

Breanna Faith SpearmanHi Friends! I’m Faith, wife of six years to my wonderful husband, Ryan, and mama to the most precious earthly gifts, our spunky first born, Matthew, and our second little miracle who’s due in July 2022. Both of their little lives will forever be a testament to God’s Faithfulness as He’s proven to us time and time again that He delights in blessing His children. We live in a tiny little town in South Georgia called Sparks and I work as a Research & Development Technician within a breeding program for a seed company in a neighboring city. I enjoy my career but my heart and Spirit delight in the written word, specifically God’s Word. I’m passionate about writing and am ecstatic to be able to channel that passion into sharing His Will and Glory here on earth - to be His vessel so others will know Him, His heart for us, and how wonderful a life lived for Him will always undoubtedly be.

Keryn StokesHi there! I’m Keryn Stokes. I’m married to my loving husband, Chris, and together we have two beautiful kids (so far). I’ve lived in West Virginia my entire life and was homeschooled along with my four siblings for a portion of my upbringing. I have experiences that lend me the ability to relate with a myriad of individuals. I’ve been broken, I’ve been addicted, I’ve been lost, but by God’s grace I know redemption, discipline, and wholeness. I’ve been given the gift of writing and I believe one of my purposes is to share my story with others.
