Autorenporträt
Joshalyn Hickey-Johnson, aka Ms. Rocki, was born and raised in Waterloo, Iowa, and attended Waterloo public schools. She is the mother of two and grandmother of seven. Ms. Rocki took on the challenge of working a traditionally male job at Viking Pump in Cedar Falls, Iowa, and worked there for 30 years. She began writing books featuring real-life experiences from her children's lives as they were growing up. Her debut book, "GOOD MORNING, LOVEY!" was published in 2005, followed by "Travis It's NOT Your Birthday!" in 2008. She partnered with Chaveevah Ferguson, serving as a publicist with BaHar Publishing, the first African-American-owned book publishing company in Iowa. She co-authored "Ropes In The Kitchen" with her father, Naaman 'Jock' Hickey. Ms. Rocki started NORTH END UPDATE, a weekly live interactive show highlighting good things in her local community and featured on Iowa Public Television's "Greetings from Iowa." Since 2017, she has worked on the show with her best friend and co-host Chaveevah. Ms. Rocki recently hosted Iowa PBS's "Juneteenth: THE MOVEMENT." Hayle Calvin is an artist/graphic designer based in her hometown of Clinton, Iowa. She graduated from Clinton Community College with an associate of arts degree in 2019. She graduated two years later from the University of Northern Iowa with a bachelor of arts in graphic design. Currently, Hayle works as an associate graphic designer for a non-profit organization and dabbles in many areas of fine arts, including digital illustration. When she's not drawing, you can find Hayle roller skating, working on a crochet project, or playing with her cat, Luna. She loves her work and hopes to inspire at least one person to be creative.
