Welcome to the official site of Author Katina M. Davis!

Katina M. Davis is an author, mother, advocate, and community leader. A Washington, D.C. native by way of Miami, Florida, she was educated in the D.C. public school system and developed a love for reading at an early age—further nurtured during her first job at Borders Books & Music. Inspired by her mother, an avid reader, Katina’s passion for literature has been lifelong.

She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Liberty University. After relocating from the Washington Metropolitan area, Katina experienced an abusive relationship that changed her life. Despite seeking help multiple times, she was ultimately criminalized for defending herself. Surviving that experience became a turning point, leading her to channel her pain into writing and personal growth.

Today, Katina is a self-published author of two books, including Learning to Love Dark Skinned Me, a powerful work that promotes healing, confidence, and representation for Black and Brown girls. Her work has been featured on the Portia show on Fox 5, and she was honored as the 2024 recipient of the Kim Gresh Survivor’s Award by Live Safe Resources.

Katina is passionate about uplifting others and dedicates much of her time to supporting her community. She also enjoys traveling, reading, family time, and binge-watching mystery shows.
