What They Say About Our Products
Thousands Of Families Are Already Making A Way For A Better World


Building Stronger Communities Through Literacy and Love
Deedee Cummings is the visionary founder of Make A Way Media. Back in 2014, she was a therapist struggling to find books that featured kids who represented her clients and even her own kids. She decided to create a publishing platform for diverse, hope-filled stories that equip people with the social-emotional skills they need to thrive.
Through her programs, courses and speaking, Deedee encourages people of all ages to develop a growth mindset, make a way for their dreams, and find glimmers of hope and gratitude in even the hardest situations.
Her best-selling books and workbooks serve as a beacon of hope that guide families toward the fulfilling lives they deserve.
Deedee’s commitment to literacy goes far beyond the pages of her books. She donates 10% of all Make A Way Media book sales to meaningful initiatives like It Pays to Read and the Louisville Book Festival.
Through her work, Deedee proves that no dream is too big. Taking small steps toward your dreams each day leads to a large impact.
Whether she’s partnering with schools, donating books, or presenting at conferences across the country, Deedee remains unwavering in her mission to help families overcome obstacles and live fulfilling lives.
Deedee Cummings and Make A Way Media reminds us that by becoming our best selves, we can help make the world the best it can be—and it’s never too late to begin.
