Gladys Stocks is a DMV based author, entrepreneur, and advocate for self-love whose writing celebrates resilience, growth, and womanhood. Before embarking on her literary path, Gladys built a foundation in customer service and entrepreneurship, experiences that deepened her understanding of people—their struggles, dreams, and inner power.

​

As the founder of Just Love Self, LLC, Gladys began creating empowering spaces for women to rediscover themselves. Her writing naturally grew from that same passion: to tell stories that speak truth, healing, and transformation. Drawing from her life as a single mother and creative visionary, she writes with heart, honesty, and a belief that every chapter—both in life and in fiction—has the power to redefine who we are.

​

Through her books and public voice, Gladys aims to remind readers that self-love is not selfish—it’s sacred. Whether she’s crafting intimate character journeys or speaking directly to her audience, her words invite women everywhere to embrace their power, rewrite their narratives, and love themselves boldly.
