Inacent Joy Saunders

Inacent Saunders is a native of Brooklyn, NY, currently living in Phoenix, Arizona. Professionally, she is a Nonprofit Consultant, dedicating the last 25 years of her life to the nonprofit sector. In 2017, she founded Groundwork for Change LLC, a nonprofit consulting practice, dedicated to ensuring that grassroots organizations have the capacity necessary to launch and scale transformative social impact initiatives.

A lover of the written and spoken word, Inacent is a published author who enjoys writing in her free time. Her first published work, From Pain to Praise, the Prose and Poems of a Daughter in Process, is a personal anthology of poems, short stories, and journal entries written throughout her adolescent life, reflecting her long, often painful road to discovering her identity in Christ. This work has impacted young women across the country, many of whom have sought her out for insight in their own lives as young women of faith.

Inacent’s faith is very important to her. She became a Christian in 2008 and is an ordained Elder. Her ministry focus is journeying with people to help them discover their God-given identities. She is excited to do this in whatever way God leads her to - not just within the 4 walls of the church, but also informally in everyday life. Inacen't latest published work is part of a collaborative book project entitled A Collective Breath. Follow her on Facebook @AuthorInacentSaunders to stay up to date.
