Who Am I?
In English I could say:
Born in The Netherlands on July 17, 1986, I am Tashira V. E. Richardson — a creative, rebellious, and resilient Island Girl now rooted in St. Maarten. I am a mompreneur, coach, publisher, poet, and content creator with an empathetic heart and enthralling energy.
I earned a B.Sc. in Economics with a minor in Psychology in 2010, and over the past 15 years, I’ve built brands and shaped social media for names like Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Monster Energy, Teremana Small Batch Tequila, Luc Belaire, and Jägermeister. I’ve published several traditional books and six video books, and I embrace my journey as a late-diagnosed rockstar on the autism spectrum — a perspective that enriches everything I create and share.
My debut book, DEEP, chronicles my journey through toxic love, widowhood, depression, and personal transformation — a testament to resilience, self-love, growth, and my ongoing healing journey.
In 2024, after a massive nervous breakdown, I discovered the medicine my soul had been craving: my own inner strength. That collapse became a breakthrough, propelling me to rebuild a life that truly resonates — spiritually, energetically, and creatively. Today, I help others reclaim their light, love themselves fiercely, and stop performing dimness, because we are all meant to shine.
Above all, my favorite accolade is simple: I am sunshine — spreading love even when it kills me, because ironically, it gives me life. 🌞❤️
But in poetry...it is more eloquent, more gracious:

About The Founder
I founded Creative Literary Publishing because books are more than stories—they are acts of freedom. The Latin word liber means both “book” and “freedom,” and that truth lives at the heart of everything I do. Publishing, to me, is liberation: freeing voices, preserving stories, and creating spaces where narratives can breathe, challenge, and heal.As a lifelong creative with over 15 years in storytelling, marketing, and media, CLP is the culmination of my experience and passion. My mission is to evolutionize the art of storytelling—pushing beyond traditional publishing into innovative, creative, and soulful ways of sharing truth.

Real. Raw. Riveting.
Photo by Big D Photography
DEEP is not a book...
It’s a survival story.
A sensual rebellion.
A poetic revolution.
Born from the ashes of depression, carved out of heartbreak, DEEP is a living, breathing journey—from toxic love to unconditional love, through the wild terrain of self-love.
You’ll find:Toxic love, seductive and sharp.Romantic love, soft and skin-close.Unrequited love, tender and obsessive.Parental love, raw and redemptive.Self-love, radical and revolutionary.
“DEEP is not a book. It’s a testimony.”
That even in the darkest places, beauty still exists. That your scars can become sacred. That you are not broken—you are becoming.
Photo by Big D Photography
From shadow to sensuality, DEEP is:A reminder that sex is powerful and must be respected.A challenge to rewrite the scripts society handed you.A reflection of how healing tastes—like purpose, abundance, perseverance… and everything good.
Designed to disrupt. Colored with intention.
The dark pages echo the dark ages—times of struggle that give way to a renaissance.
The structure bends the rules. The epigraph is art. The author bio is a poem. Even the back matter holds a hidden message—because DEEP is a whole experience, meant to be deciphered, devoured, and discussed.
“DEEP is a call to love yourself truly, fully, and completely.”It’s the beginning of something bold. The foundation for going deeper still.Let’s go DEEP.

Read Between Us is a Creative Literary Publishing Story Club
Some stories are meant to be read, others are meant to be lived... Read Between Us was born from the desire to create a space where women can gather, share, and grow through the art of storytelling.
This is not your typical book club—it’s a sisterhood circle, where literature meets lived experience, and where deep conversations spark transformation.
Who It’s For
This intimate club is designed for women who are ready to:
• Explore books and stories as mirrors for self-discovery.
• Build confidence in communication, presentation, and expression.
• Connect with like-minded women seeking sisterhood and support.
• Engage in meaningful conversations that foster both personal and collective evolution.We keep the group intentionally intimate (max 12–20 women per cycle) to honor trust, connection, and depth.
How It Works
Each month, we explore a new story—through weekly check-ins and one major discussion circle.Our rhythm allows time to read, reflect, and engage without pressure.
• Week 1: Introductions + first impressions
• Week 2: Themes + reflections
• Week 3: Main discussion circle (1 hour max, with space for a part 2 if needed)
• Week 4: Secondary discussion if needed. Feedback + personal takeawaysEvery cycle is a fresh beginning, with space to welcome new sisters while honoring the bond of those already inside.
Join Us
If this speaks to you, we invite you to apply for membership. This is a private club with limited spaces, and applications are reviewed to ensure alignment with our values of sisterhood, respect, and growth.
Recruitment is currently open, and the tentative start date is October 1, 2025. This is your invitation to step into a circle of stories and sisterhood.If you know a woman who would thrive in this space, share this with her—let’s grow a community of women who inspire and support one another.
