Multiracial and "Creole" experience with multiracial Y.A. author, Veda Stamps, Ep. 60

Apr 10, 2016

Ep. 60:  Veda Stamps was born in Los Angeles, California but grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana. In her late teens, she moved to Fresno, California where she attended Fresno State’s undergraduate and graduate programs. Veda spent time in Washington, DC where she served as a legislative aide and speech writer to Congressman Harold Ford, JR. Missing sunny California, she moved back to Fresno and created The Ramsay Group, LLC a community planning consulting firm.

She currently lives in Valencia, California with her husband, two daughters and three little dogs.

”Flexible Wings” is her first published novel, partly inspired by her daughter’s experience on a new neighborhood swim team.  It is a contemporary middle-grade novel which explores the lives of military children. The book delves into themes of sports, community, and volunteerism as a way to support families through difficult times.
