Marilyn “ME” Porter lives in Charlotte and was born and raised in New Jersey. She is a proud mother of three and grandmother of two—roles that deeply shape her perspective on legacy, leadership, and generational impact.

Marilyn is an award-winning publisher, bestselling author, prophetic strategist, and spiritual life coach devoted to helping women heal deeply, lead boldly, and live with unapologetic purpose.

With a Master’s degree in Management and Leadership, ongoing doctoral studies in leadership, and certifications in life coaching and breathwork, Marilyn brings both academic excellence and spiritual insight to her work. She stands at the intersection of faith and strategy—guiding women beyond surface-level growth into true inner transformation.

Her work is rooted in her divine assignment as a Literary Shepherd—one who guides, nurtures, and safeguards the voices entrusted to her care. Unlike traditional publishers who focus solely on production, Marilyn walks alongside her clients through the full journey of authorship—from revelation to refinement to release. She helps women uncover the deeper meaning within their stories, bring language to what once felt unspoken, and steward their message with both integrity and intention.

Through her signature framework—Healing & Wholeness, Leadership & Legacy, and Prophetic & Purpose Activation—Marilyn doesn’t just help women write books; she helps them birth messages that heal, transform, and leave a lasting imprint for generations.

Known for her depth, discernment, and ability to speak truth with both compassion and authority, Marilyn doesn’t just inspire—she activates. Whether on stage, in coaching spaces, or through her written work, she challenges women to stop shrinking, own their voice, and build lives and legacies that truly reflect who they are.

If you read this out loud, it sounds like a woman who should be paid well to speak and trusted to steward people’s stories—and that’s exactly the lane you’re stepping into.
