Johanna Dao is the pen name I, Daphne Oh, use as the author of my children's activity books, planners, and short stories. I created Kay Bea Books Presents in 2021 as writing has always been one of my passions. I was born and raised on the NC coast, where I enjoy all the scenic water views.  After graduating high school, I received an Associates Degree in Office Systems Management and a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Healthcare Management. Helping others has always been one of my passions as well.  In 2011, I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and everything in my world shift to my baby girl.  Being the mother of a child on the autism spectrum,, my perspective of the world around me changed from what I formerly knew.  Please view my blog on this specific topic for greater insight. All praises and glory given to God, I knew that I was specifically chosen to be the mother of this beautiful child.  Inspiration for Kay Bea Books Presents comes from being a mother.  Kayla Bean is the nickname given to my daughter, thus the naming of Kay Bea Books Presents was created.  My daughter's middle is Johanna, which is the pen name that I use as an author.  My first self-published book is an emotional journal targeting the special needs audience entitled "KB Books Presents: In My Feelings".   One of my most important goals in life is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for my daughter to thrive in and to show her that all good things are possible though God.  The brand has now expanded into digital journals as well as merch (t-shirts, hoodies, and sweats). All of my current titles are available under the categories of journals and notebooks, diaries, and children's activity books.  All are available on the Amazon platform.
