Writing

As a writer, Teresa Kay-Aba Kennedy has a broad range – from academic and business to consumer lifestyle pieces. With both parents as communication experts and published authors, she has had a love for the written word all of her life. Her mother, a Columbia University-trained journalist, ran a global marketing consulting business which produced the EXCEL book series (with one million in print) and distributed the journal, Building in China, so Terri grew up immersed in the editorial process as well as PR and marketing. Through her publishing arm, Power Living Media, she has written and published six books (one a translation in Spanish) and contributed to seven. Her last two books on yoga master Tao Porchon-Lynch won eleven national and international awards in a variety of categories such as Inspirational, Spirituality, Memoir, Autobiography, and Best Cover Design. In addition to co-writing the books (with her mother and Tao), Terri oversaw editorial (e.g., setting the tone and structure, proofreading, copyediting, fact-checking), as well as led strategy, design, production, marketing, PR, and distribution. Given her extensive network in yoga and the wellness space, she personally garnered endorsements from notables like Rodney Yee and Dr. Deepak Chopra (who called Dancing Light “extraordinary”). She is also the creator of the www.IAmPowerLiving.com empowerment platform. For many years, she wrote “The Power of…” column which was distributed to local newspapers and over 10,000 opt-in subscribers monthly. Her case studies have been published under Harvard Business School Publishing.
