It all begins with a whisper.

Hi, I’m Daquana Cartier—author, creator, and the heart behind The Whispered Word. This space was born out of a desire to quiet the noise and create something intentional—books, bookmarks, and faith-rooted printables that gently speak to the soul.

I believe in the power of storytelling, stillness, and small things done with great love. Whether it’s a calming children’s book or a mantra you can tuck into your journal, I create with the hope that it meets you where you are—and helps you exhale just a little.

The Whispered Word is a reminder that you don’t have to be loud to be powerful. Sometimes the softest voice holds the deepest truth.

The words I write often begin in my own home.

As a mother, I’ve seen firsthand how big emotions live inside little hearts. My first books—When Strong Met Peace and Nah-MA Stay MAD—were born from real-life moments with my son, where love met frustration, and creativity became a bridge to connection.

Those experiences shaped how I approach every story and every design: with empathy, honesty, and a quiet strength. Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, or simply someone seeking encouragement, I hope my work speaks to something true in you.

Thanks for being here. I hope The Whispered Word becomes a gentle part of your story.
