Cierra Thurman is a native of Chicago, Illinois. She was raised in a gang infested neighborhood
where high crime rates and drugs were considered the norm. From a young age, Cierra was determined
to make it out the “hood.” Her family’s transition to the suburbs and a full athletic scholarship to
play Division One basketball was her ticket! People who know her, describe her as an “old soul.” She
loves to exercise, but only to combat her cravings for Southern comfort food. Cierra is currently a
police officer armed with a Master’s Degree from Loyola University. She prides herself on her dual education, book
smarts and street smarts. This resilient young woman is determined to not allow her past to dictate her
future. Author, publisher, and motivational speaker. When she’s not writing, she enjoys cooking, traveling, and a
healthy dose of reality TV shows.
