Irama is the pen name of a Mississippi-born author, proud mother of two daughters, and loving Gigi to her granddaughter, Amari—the namesake behind “Irama,” a quiet nod to rhythm, legacy, and the women who carry us forward.

Now living in Conley, Georgia, Irama leads with purpose—as the founder of Real Divas Read, a thriving sisterhood of readers and leaders for over 13 years, and as a Senior Program Manager by day, navigating high-impact initiatives with strength and empathy. She holds a master’s degree in Organizational Leadership and lives by the belief that personal growth is its own form of leadership.
