About Me

A native Chicagoan with a heart for storytelling.

Felicia (Febe) Bates Pointer has always seen her world through a different lens. As an adopted child, she found her journey through the stroke of a pen by empowering youth and adults to articulate their feelings, thoughts, and experiences while living in foster care or being an adopted child.

I'm a graduate of Chicago State University and Governors State University. My passion for writing is driven by my personal journey as an adopted child, which I hope will empower you to share your story with the world the only way YOU know how.
