Mission: Transforming literacy one creation at a time.
Vanessa Fortenberry, the owner of Power of Words: Connecting Readers and Writers, LLC, is a retired educator. Throughout her 27 years of service, she taught music, reading, and media (teacher-librarian). During her first 9 years as a music teacher it was not unusual for her to march her students to the library to research creative music projects. So, it was only a matter of time, before she entered a school as a first-time teacher-librarian.
A lifelong advocate of literacy, many years ago, Vanessa fell in love with the written word and her writing endeavors soon followed. Every morning her fingers itched to feel the keys on her typewriter. Yes that’s right, typewriter! Computers were not a part of her world at the time. Now, you can find Vanessa at her laptop clicking away! In addition, Vanessa reads something (books, magazines, online research, etc.) every day and/or night.
Vanessa created her business, which is two-fold; serving students and adults. Her vision includes providing a variety of literacy services that enrich, educate, and empower her clients. Her passion overflows so much, that she desires the same for her clients and she aspires to assist others in solving their literacy concerns.
