Raised in both Washington, D.C. and Prince George's County, Maryland, Jodaéa attended Bowie State University in Bowie, Maryland as well as Saint Paul's College in Lawrenceville, Virginia. She is also a Registered Nurse and member of Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc..

     Jodaéa began her literary journey in 2008, chronicling her past experiences. She says her inspirations come from recalling past experiences, adding an element of fiction, and a shocking twist, then lets the stories write themselves! Every situation in her novels is loosely based in fact with fictional backstories. However, there is ALWAYS a lesson to be learned in the end! Jodaéa's novels are multi-genre projects that have elements of drama, psychological terror, romance, and mystery. Her novels have been reviewed internationally in countries such as South Africa, India, and Palestine.

    Jodaea explains, “I know my stories are interesting, entertaining, and insightful. My novels are quick reads to give avid readers instant gratificaton through literary escapism.  I try not to give the reader a chance to put my books down!"

     2021 and 2023 Author of the Year nominee by ACHI Magazine, Jodaéa is currently working on her fourth novel among her vast array of literary projects. Additionally, her most beloved venture, the Novels By Jodaéa Individual Excellence Scholarship, will reopen its application process in January 2024!
