About Rishawna L. Gould
A lifelong adventurer and award-winning author, Rishawna L. Gould brings her rich tapestry of global experiences to the pages of her first book. Drawing from her journeys across the world, she crafts a story that’s a beacon for young explorers everywhere.
Rishawna’s passion is exploring new things, meeting new people, and gaining new experiences from interacting with cultures other than her own. She believes that travel is an alternative way to immerse oneself in geography, history, culture, gastronomy, language, biology, and more. She hopes that black and brown children of color can experience the same opportunity by visiting states and countries outside of the perimeters of their local neighborhoods and home state.
Rishawna is currently a full-time visual information specialist and a hemorrhagic stroke survivor. In her free time, she illustrates, travels, and is a volunteer community advocate.

Inspiration Behind The Adventures of Joanie & Juliet
The Adventures of Joanie & Juliet is inspired by my late mother, Joan Gould and my aunt, Juliet Coates. These two inseparable sisters were filled with excitement, curiosity and always sought out opportunities for adventure. These women instilled in me a love of travel and exploration and encouraged me to reach for the stars in all my endeavors. Mom and Jue, this book is for you!
