Welcome to my world of impact, innovation and people centred change.

Storytelling for Self-Love & Discovery
Stories shape how children see themselves and the world around them. As an author, I write with intention, creating books that nurture self-acceptance, confidence and curiosity in young readers.
My children’s book series, Finding Out Things, is rooted in one simple belief: we are strongest when we understand and value who we are.
A Mighty Good Mix
The Sizetown Annual Fair brings the residents together to prepare something they all love, yet they struggle because they cannot see their own strengths.
Tall, small, fluffy or slight, each animal doubts their ability.
By embracing their differences, they discover the power of a mighty good mix of natural gifts.
Sasha's Special Nose
Through the loving guidance of her father, Sasha learns that her nose, like every part of her, is beautiful and special. Told with warmth and affirmation, the story helps children see difference as strength.
The themes I explore in my books, identity, confidence, belonging and collaboration, are the same principles that guide my work with individuals, teams and organisations.

What readers are saying
“The vibrant colours and sceneries in the book brings a challenging story to life. Sasha’s relatable experience reminded me of words I heard as a child. I wish a book like this existed when I was a child”
Ife N, Parent.
I am Concia Alicia, author, public service leader and strategic thinker committed to people centred change.
With over 20 years of experience across the voluntary and community sector, the NHS and local government, my career has focused on strengthening systems that serve people well, particularly those most often unheard.
My journey, shaped by lived experience, migration, community and service, informs how I lead and how I listen. I have chaired scrutiny committees, guided complex partnerships, supported workforce development and championed wellbeing as a strategic priority, not an afterthought.
At the core of my work is a belief that human insight matters. In a world of increasing automation and rapid change, the ability to recognise potential, build trust, and design systems that allow people to thrive is more important than ever.
What Connects My Work
Across my work, I champion inclusion and ethical responsibility, rooted in the belief that people and systems thrive when strengths are recognised, people are valued, and difference is embraced, enabling accountability and confident, compassionate change.
- Writing stories that affirm identity, self-worth, difference and collaboration
