I’m Michaela A. Carter — a multi-passionate creative, author, and communications strategist rooted in faith and led by purpose.

For nearly a decade, I’ve worked in marketing and communications across a range of industries — from higher education to nonprofits — helping brands find their voice, connect with their audience, and show up with clarity and authenticity. I’m a storyteller at heart, and whether I’m building campaigns, shaping brand messaging, or supporting someone else's vision, I lead with creativity and strategy.

I’ve authored three books — Payton’s Little Prayers, Payton Finds Her Voice, and In Raw Form — and I’ve ghostwritten two published novels. I deeply believe in the power of words to heal, inspire, and bring people closer to who God created them to be. Writing is one of my greatest gifts, and I’m honored every time someone trusts me with their story.

Outside of my work as a writer and strategist, I lead a women’s ministry called RAWCove (Restoring Ambitious Women) — a space for women to rest, reconnect with God, and be reminded of who they are beyond the titles and to-do lists. Through devotionals, virtual gatherings, wellness challenges, and community prayer, I help women tend to their souls while chasing purpose.

At the core of everything I do is a desire to help others build something that matters. Whether that’s through books, strategy calls, brand coaching, or faith-based community — I’m here to help you take your vision from idea to impact.

Let’s build something powerful together.
