Rea Scantlebury
Rea Scantlebury is an artist and creative writer of African Caribbean descent and CARICOM national.
Born and bred in New York, she has experienced both culture and the arts firsthand. Her love affair for the arts seemed second nature. Experiencing the best of both worlds, Rea can go between writing on any topic, to tales of small island life that blend authentic Caribbean culture into modern good-reads. Her latest book The Gospel of Rahab And Some Fine Island Tales is her 1st book of folklore.
Rea earned her Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies from University of Texas at Arlington, MLA in Art from Dallas Baptist University, and completed the Mount Zion Film Academy. She has been a published author for over two decades and her compositions include books, articles, blog posts, poems, short stories and songs.
Rea is a wife, mother of three lovely daughters, and caregiver to a pair of very mischievous cats. Her first loves are the Almighty God, herself and family. A few of her favorite things are nature, wellness, culture, philanthropy, and the Arts.
Look out for her next compilation of short stories: The Gospel of Hagar and More Fine Tales including Queen Vashti’s Revenge,.
