Annette McKinney, of San Diego, is the author of 'On Mama's Back,' a children's book centering Black children, and celebrating diversity and human connection
Technically, Annette McKinney got her first paid writing job as a young child. Growing up, she and her family moved around all over the world thanks to her father’s military career. Since they couldn’t visit with their extended family very often, her mother started their “McKinney Family Journal,” chronicling their adventures around the world with contributions from the kids. Those experiences — traveling, writing, experiencing different cultures — made their mark.
McKinney, 35, is an operations manager with a local staffing firm and lives in San Diego’s Mountain View neighborhood with her fiance, and daughter and a son. She took some time to talk about the themes of the book, how her background in early childhood education helped inform the lessons she included in the book, and the time she competed against the state’s best high school high jumpers when she was in middle school.
