2. Meet Carolyn Forché
How was a writer and political publicist chosen to create an inspirational
greeting card line? Carolyn says: “Seasoned writers know for sure that our
work speaks volumes about the love we pour into our craft for creating words
that captivate. While good writing is ‘learned,’ it is often the gift of a divine
calling.” She believes such a calling led to privileged positions, leading her to
become:
The first woman and first African American to be appointed to a U.S. Sub-
Cabinet level position in both President Jimmy Carter’s, and President Ronald
Reagan’s Administrations;
• Deputy Illinois Press Secretary for the Presidential Campaign in `88;
• Public Relations Consultant to Chicago’s Mayor Harold Washington and
other key Illinois elected officials;
• Editor of the Chicago Observer for ten years and
• Account executive for the prestigious Aaron Cushman Public Relations
Agency in Chicago and numerous other human service oriented positions
Forché is an Award-Winning, Best Selling author of two children’s books: One
having sold over 30,000 copies – Colors Come From God ... Just Like Me! (Abingdon
Press.) She authored another book entitled, That’s Not NiceWhatYou DidTo Me,
Overcoming Childhood Sexual Abuse, which received an award from the International
Writer’s Network Competition. It is a healing work for sexually abused children
and adult survivors of child sexual abuse. She is presently completing a book to
Black Men, calling them to embrace the calling to greatness God has ordained for
them in scripture, and teaches exciting seminars on Biblical Black Heritage, which
greatly appeals to men of African descent.

So what Inspired
Praise Phrases?
Forché finds serving as an enabler
with people in social services and
in Christian ministry fulfilling and
rewarding. Beyond her professional
experiences is a vibrant passion for
sharing her strong Biblical prin-
ciples. She is an ordained minister
and nationally recognized speaker.
Praise Phrases is birthed from an
insatiable desire to contribute the
gift of writing to people in search
of meaningful and deeper relation-
ships with the Creator.
That divine desire awakened her in
the middle of the night to “get up
and write!” Out of that divine visi-
tation came an unquenchable flow

greetings she calls: Praise Phras-
