Oprah C. Francis
Oprah is an author and communications professional from Trinidad and Tobago who specialises in creative production. Growing up, she could not ignore the absence of local characters in movies, books and television shows. Longing to change this, Oprah authored and illustrated her first children’s book, The Adventures of Marvin the Mischievous Manicou and established Create Me as an independent publisher for children’s content in the Caribbean. Oprah then transformed Marvin’s playful adventures into a blossoming series of exciting and meaningful stories, with an accompanying collection of plush toys and books to further raise awareness about wildlife in Trinidad and Tobago. Oprah continues to build projects and create narratives that reflect the charisma and unique culture of the Caribbean.
