2022 Local Authors Expo Spotlight: Hali Chambers

Another author joining us at the Local Authors Expo on Saturday, November 5, is Hali Chambers. Chambers is a business psychologist and co-owner of a management consulting firm. She is a native of Ensley who hosts business workshops in hopes of inspiring entrepreneurship as a way to build a strong, healthy community. 

In a quick Q&A with the Birmingham Public Library, this is what Chambers had to share. 

BPL: Tell me about your book.

Chambers: [When Life Gives You Lemons... is] an empowering children's book about three young siblings who learn how to work together to start a successful business in their community. 

BPL: What inspired you to write your book(s)?

Chambers: The inspiration for this book was Hali's own childhood memories of starting a lemonade stand with the help of her parents and siblings.

BPL: Who is your favorite author and why?

Chambers: God because the Bible provides the guidance and inspiration needed to live on purpose. 

BPL: What do you hope readers get out of your books?

Chambers: Her wish is for this book to inspire kids, especially those in underserved communities, to pursue entrepreneurship as a way to build a strong, healthy community. She hopes to change mindsets and help people break free from the generational curse of poverty. 

BPL: Any advice you would give for new authors or those desiring to become an author?

Chambers: Keep moving forward, no matter how long it takes to finish your book.
