Welcome. My name is GG Renee and I believe that storytelling heals. I’m an author and speaker who writes personal essays and memoir, as well as self-help and spirituality.
I create books and workshops that help women embrace their layers and write from the heart. First time? Start here.

BOOKS

I write books that explore the joys and pains of womanhood, enlightenment, and self-exploration. So far, I've written a free verse memoir about heartbreak and healing, a book of essays for quiet women who want to be heard, and a self-discovery workbook that inspires self-reflection and personal growth.
