S. Denice Newton

S. Denice Newton is an author, journalist, speaker, advocate, and storyteller whose work explores resilience, identity, purpose, and the power of the human spirit. Her writing spans fiction and nonfiction, allowing her to tell stories from both the imagination and lived experience. She writes fiction under the pen name Aspen Alloway, including Invincible: When Darkness Meets Light and its sequel, Intrinsic: Call of Prince Morri.

Her works include Melanin and Majesty, an empowering celebration of the dignity, resilience, and inherent royalty of Black women.
