Cole is an author of young adult literature and other works who focuses most of her writing on the topics of womanhood, environmentalism and race.
[4] While Cole had an early start with her love of writing and reading literature, her debut novel, Panther in the Hive, came along in April 2014.
[4] In an interview, Cole describes how a middle school teacher prompted her to think about how a "white lie" differs from other falsehoods.
This interaction served as a seed for the idea behind the title of her 2022 book, The Truth About White Lies.
[9][11] Outside of authoring books, Cole's social media presence bridges storytelling with her own personal moments.
