About The Author

Dr. Nina Gregory-King is a distinguished author, instructional leader, and strategic consultant whose life’s work has been rooted in education, empowerment, and purpose. With more than four decades of experience, she has dedicated her career to nurturing academic excellence while supporting the emotional and social growth of students.

Raised in East St. Louis, her early life experiences shaped her perspective and fueled her passion for helping others find their voice. As a child, she struggled to express herself, and that journey became the foundation of her mission to empower young minds with confidence and self-worth.

Her academic path led her to Loyola University Chicago, where she earned her doctorate and deepened her commitment to educational leadership. Over the years, she has served as a mentor, educator, and advocate, creating environments where students feel seen, heard, and inspired to succeed.

Throughout her career, she has been recognized for her leadership and dedication to inclusive education. She believes true learning goes beyond academics—it is about building identity, confidence, and helping every student embrace who they are.

As an author, her work reflects these beliefs. Her storytelling is thoughtful and meaningful, shaped by real-life experiences and a deep understanding of human growth and connection.

Her book My Skin Is Brown is a reflection of this vision—encouraging young readers to explore identity, embrace diversity, and understand the beauty within themselves.
