Jewel Hopson has a Bachelor of Science degree in speech communtications. A former model and flight attendant, she taught communications at a post secondary school and moved on to direct a personal development and modeling school. She has worn many hats while working in various office environments.
Color struck, high yellow, Oreo, red bone, ink spot and spade are all terms used when defining identity conflicts within the black community. Jewel wrote Parade of Shades because most black people, including herself, frequently hear that their skin is either too light or too dark to fit in with their own people. Parade of Shades explores experiences from both sides of this problem.
Jewel Hopson is also part of a dynamic group of spicy spinsters who helped changed the way society views women in the work-place and in the home. They are now changing how society thinks of women who never marry. That's why Jewel wrote Spicy Spinsters: Stories of Seasoned Bachelorettes.
Anthologized in Whispers From The Universe (edited by Propertius Press), Jewel shares a spiritual experience with her nonfiction story, "The Learning Place."
Jewel's goal is to challenge readers and push them to view themselves and others in ways that will help make this world a better place.
