Award-winning author Carolyn L. Baker, M.Ed. grew up in Southern California during segregation and came of age in the counter-cultural climate of the 1960s. Baker spent decades working and investing in her native Los Angeles as a senior executive in the nonprofit sector. Formerly an adjunct professor in the community college systems, Baker earned a graduate degree in Education from Northern Arizona University and began a 30 year executive career in nonprofit settings as wide-ranging as Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles to the Clinton Global Initiative.

When Baker was in her mid-sixties, she first learned of the murder of Emmett Till, sparking an investigation of her own position as a white woman in the midst of a world of racial trauma. Baker has been a guest on countless radio programs including NPR. Her second book DISPATCHES, From Racial Divide to a Road of Repair, a Collection of Essays, has an introduction written by the esteemed Mark R. Warren, PhD., and will be released in the Fall of 2021. This is one example of the writing she does to write about her writing.
