All About B. A. Steele
Embracing Life's Adventures
Spending most of her young life in a double-wide trailer on six acres with her mom, dad, and two older sisters, Steele's life was mostly typical - apart from the severe Crohn’s Disease symptoms she’s been managing since the age of 10.
Navigating all aspects of having an incurable disease is still a challenge, but B. A. Steele’s unwavering passion for world-building has always kept her mind distracted from the many negative sides of her health (severe pain being the one of the main issues). Throughout her twenties, she’s had a total of four bowel surgeries and currently has an end ileostomy.
After suffering and experiencing much through her short existence, she appreciates life’s fragilities even more.

Steele leverages her education and originality with a career in Marketing Management, Video Production, and Writing.
​
Film and Digital Media was her first Bachelor's Degree, while her second Bachelor's was in Communication and Marketing as a Minor. B. A. Steele’s ability in storytelling comes from hours of studying countless films, directors, writers, and their history, along with their impacts on society. Part of Steele’s focus is creating realistic characters that face extraordinary challenges. Her stories are imbued with literary hardships, inviting readers to contemplate the complexities of the human spirit and the unbreakable bonds that connect us all.
