Richelle Thompson believes that stories—from the parables of Jesus to our own life experiences—bind us together and offer hope for the future. She's been blessed to live out that vocation as a newspaper reporter, diocesan communicator, and book editor. Richelle has served as an editor at Forward Movement since 2013, including as editor of the daily devotional, Forward Day by Day. She is also the founder and director of Crown Communications, which helps individuals, churches, nonprofit organizations, and secular groups confidently and clearly tell their stories. Richelle lives in God’s country in Northern Kentucky, with her husband, the Ven. Jeffrey Queen, an Episcopal priest and archdeacon in the Diocese of Lexington. Their children are launched into their own adventures, with a fashion designer son living in New York City and a horse-loving daughter and her husband, who are raising two amazing children and a flock of chickens in Kentucky. Richelle is also known as Gigi, which, along with Mom, is the sweetest name she’s ever been called.
