Stacey grew up in St. Louis, Missouri with two incredible parents and two amazing older sisters. Being the baby of the bunch, she always had a vivid imagination and was wise beyond her years - too grown for her own good! Stacey’s love for movies, books, journaling, and all things Oprah led her to completing a journalism degree. Ignoring her childhood dream of being in entertainment, Stacey pursued a career in everything not related to reading, writing or journalism. She rekindled her love for reading and writing during the pandemic where her alter ego, Robbi Renee was born, penning her first novella in 2020. Robbi Renee draws upon personal experiences, adoration for Black romance, and her favorite stories of love, heartache and redemption to fuel her written work.  

Stacey/Robbi Renee enjoys her own Black family love story with her husband and teenage son.
