About the Authors

David and Mutiya Vision are a husband and wife team who've navigated the goliath responsibility of raising seven children! And yet, this task isn't nearly as challenging and unpredictable as the world they saw their children entering into. As a result of overcoming adversity in their own childhood experiences, the Visions wished to give children the benefit of information they didn't have access to as children. They both recognized that today, much of the offered images and messages children are exposed to, from the internet, radio, television, movies, video games, and magazines were not in the best interest of children. They felt that children needed an edge to prepare for leadership roles in a world they will one day inherit. This reality compelled them to provide a solution. Mutiya Vision saw and seized the opportunity to fill a void, while satisfying a crucial life purpose and Vision Works Publishing was born.

The Visions collaborated to produce a number of character building children's books. From literary works their creativity blossomed into various workshops, family oriented programs, videos, and music designed to entertain, raise the human spirit and strengthen mental development in children of all ages. Their materials assist children in confronting life issues, understanding emotions, exploring options, fulfilling their purpose and making wise choices in any given situation. Their commitment and vision inspires children, parents, communities, and educators everywhere to utilize their own talents in making the world a better place. David and Mutiya Vision are currently the authors of 10 published children's books.

When she was reunited with her mother an abusive step father demonstrated his resentment daily with beatings to remind her that she was not his child. Though the challenges faced from birth seemed to mount as Mutiya progressed through life, she never wavered from believing "she could" when others suggested she could not!
