Banks, a veteran teacher in Prince George’s County Public Schools, the oldest of five, a wife, a minister, a vocalist, a writer, a dancer, an artist, an actor, and most importantly, a mother. Ericka Banks has been involved in ministry, education, public speaking, writing, and performing since her years at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts, where she graduated in 1989. She continued her studies at Bowie State University and later Howard University’s School of Divinity.

Banks shares, “In a world focused on exploiting humanity’s differences, first-time author Ericka A. Banks wants to remind us that we are more alike than we realize. Momma Prays is a homage to those similarities. Inspired by her own mother’s struggle through single parenthood, using her faith and love for her children as her guide, the author uses this book to remind humanity that a mother’s love for her children and faith in her God transcend race, color, religion, and creed. But most importantly, a mother’s love looks the same no matter where you are in the world. A mother’s love and faith know no bounds!”
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Ericka A. Banks’s new book features vibrant inspirational artwork crafted by Alannah Santiago, first time illustrator and military spouse.
