We caught up with Bridget so that she could share some of her wisdom with us this woman crush Wednesday. The thing is that not only does she have the amazing words that great writers possess, she has the ability to weave them together in a way that grasps you as a reader.
That came from being an avid reader, and having a dream to become a writer. She speaks about her amazing and imaginative childhood and it transports you to her memories.

We love how she explains the process of writing a story. She admits that as a writer you almost give away a part of yourself, which ironically is very similar to being a presenter. Carol Ofori gives a little bit of herself to her listeners daily.
