Hi, I’m Mali


I am a family historian: I began my work in 2004 supporting my grandmother, Claudia A. Bain, to publish her memoirs. I provide custom book creation services to clients.

I teach these courses because I believe that every elder deserves a book. I think you'll enjoy learning with me: I have taught courses for grades 6 to university professors, from Canada to Kenya, in person and remote. Look forward to "seeing" you in class!
