Crystal H. Mayo is a Louisiana children’s author, illustrator, and Christian author speaker who inspires women, children, and families with faith-based children’s books and heartfelt stories of hope. Rooted in her mother’s beauty shop—where laughter and storytelling flowed like sweet tea—she brings Southern charm with a gospel heartbeat. Her books, Lucy’s Home and Lucy’s Lake Charles Adventure, encourage kids to believe in the power of prayer, family, and community. Through school author visits, women’s conference speaker events, and creative workshops, Crystal shares her journey of overcoming a life-altering stroke, raising three children, and seeing God’s hand in everyday life.
