Please introduce yourself and brand to readers:
My name is Morgan Richard Olivier, and I’m a best-selling author, mental health advocate, and motivation speaker.
With a goal to crush the image and pursuit of perfection by captivating the raw beauty of sincere progress—my books and platforms support conversations that are needed to stop stigmas and support healing, personal growth, and building a relationship with God.
I began my writing journey in 2020 after publishing my first book, Questions, Christ, and the Quarter-Life Crisis. From there, I went on to publish poetry and prose collections: Blooming Bare (2021), my most known and best-selling collection The Tears That Taught Me (2022), One Still Whisper and The Strength That Stays both in 2023, and The Freedom of Forward in 2024.
Any 2 pieces of advice you would share with other women visionaries during these unprecedented times?
1. Do not allow the world around you to shake the faith, power, or truth within you. You know who you are, whose you are, and all that you carry.
2. Be the safe space you needed, the encouragement you longed for, and the solution to a problem you once had.
Share your favorite inspirational quote and what it means to you:
Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. This Bible verse not only reminds me of the power and strategy of God but also the importance of learning through every experience and the peace that comes with reframing.
What is next for you in 2025 and how can readers stay connected with you online?
Aside from writing another book, in 2025 I am taking part in more speaking engagements and events. From podcasts, book signings, and author talks—I will embrace the power of connection and collaboration. You can stay connected with me on my website modernmorgan.com, on my Instagram and Facebook with the handle @modernmorgan, and on TikTok @morganrichardolivier.
