She holds a bachelors and masters in social work. She is currently a 2nd grade teacher in Baltimore City. Ms. Matthews has been working with inner-city children since 2008. She is honored to be an AmeriCorps alumna. She enjoys meeting people of different races and of different religious backgrounds. While in college she studied abroad in Namibia, Africa and Beijing, China.
Tracy began writing children’s books in 2008. In her nine years of working with inner-city children she has rarely seen books featuring or of interest to children of color, and believes “Solo’s Nose Is Out of Control” can be the first of a series that helps redress that disparity. Other titles that she is currently developing are “Solo and the Breakfast Club Rescues Jonathan” and “Solo, the Blueberry Muffin, and the Mouse.”
When Tracy is not writing she is spending time with her family and friends. Most importantly she enjoys being a mom to her three year old son Solomon.view less
