Award-Winning Writer, Storyteller, and Mental Wellness Counsellor.
I am Bill Tubman.
At my core, I am a storyteller. Whether through writing, speaking, hosting events, or mental health advocacy, my work is about using words to heal, connect, and inspire action.
I am from Liberia, raised and educated in the United States, and my journey has taken me across Africa and North America. I have collaborated with individuals, brands, and organizations committed to meaningful change, always centering my work on gratitude, mental wellness, and the power of storytelling.
For years, I drifted between survival and silence, more existing than truly living. Being diagnosed with lupus at an early age kept me in survival mode, afraid to dream too big or plan too far ahead. But I learned that purpose isn’t something we chase, it’s something we create, even in uncertainty. Now, I help others find clarity, meaning, and the courage to live fully, no matter what they are facing.
Through writing, I help shape narratives that matter. I offer ghostwriting and coaching services, crafting stories that feel real and impactful. In 2022, I was an author-in-residence for Cottontree Press, working alongside Elma Shaw, author and publisher. My expertise also extends to brand storytelling, where I create human made copywriting and campaigns that connect deeply with audiences.
As a mental health counsellor and coach, I guide people through life’s challenges with compassion, reflection, and practical tools. My work in public speaking and event hosting allows me to engage audiences on personal growth, mental health, creative entrepreneurship, and the impact of storytelling. Whether through keynotes, workshops, or one on one conversations.
At the heart of everything I do is a simple belief: stories, when told with honesty, can change lives.
And everyone has a story worth sharing, including you.
What is yours?
“Dear Bill, I am speechless. You nailed it and I am so grateful. The graphics, presentation, and copywriting are way beyond what I expected. You definitely put your all into this. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Wow! Just Wow!”
— Kyle D. Washington, Refresh Candles (New Jersey)
