HYATTSVILLE, Md. - Marylandian -- In a bold step forward for independent publishing and cultural storytelling, Pain 2 Prosperity Publishing (P2PP) is proud to announce the addition of three dynamic team members whose expertise, lived experience, and commitment to purpose-driven narratives will help shape the future of literature that heals.

The new additions reflect the company's deep-rooted mission: transforming pain into purpose through authentic publishing that uplifts Black and brown voices and centers stories that matter.

"This isn't just about books. It's about liberation through language, healing through storytelling, and creating literary legacies," said Pharice Brown, Founder of Pain 2 Prosperity Publishing. "Each new team member carries that vision forward with power and grace."

Meet the new members of this movement:

Alexander Forston – Literary Agent & Writer (Indiana)
