Sorena Washington - Briley

Sorena Washington-Briley is an author, artist, and creative entrepreneur from New Orleans, Louisiana. Passionate about faith, growth, and resilience, she inspires women to nurture their spirit, embrace confidence, and live with clarity.

She first shared her personal story of resilience in She Blooms: Stories of Faith, Power & Resilience, a collaborative collection highlighting women’s triumphs through faith. That journey became the seed for her newest release, Bloom & Sip: A Faith-Inspired Guide to Watering Your Spirit, a short, practical workbook filled with affirmations, gentle reflections, and activities to help readers slow down, release negativity, and grow with intention.

When she’s not writing, Sorena enjoys photography, pouring into her family, and creating spaces where others can bloom beautifully.
