Regina Mixon

Regina Mixon is an author and motivational speaker, who continues to inspire others through her stories of faith, hope, courage and love.  She has always possessed a spirit of service; a desire to help people whose misfortunes have placed them in a vulnerable station in life. While working for the federal  government in her native city of Minden, Louisiana, she realized that people might need social services should disaster strike. As a result, she surveyed the city to see what was available. She then formed God’s Storehouse, whose mission was to provide residents food, clothing, and furniture to victims of unforeseen circumstances. At one point, she even gave up her full time job (with benefits) to devote her time to the non-profit. Although God’s Storehouse was short-lived, the experience of serving others, while at the same time, trying to meet her financial needs and balance family life provided her with valuable lessons and opportunities for personal growth.

A firm believer in nurturing and utilizing the talents that God has given each of us, she began placing her thoughts on paper in 1999. “I thought I was just writing a journal was the beginning of a book -sort of an autobiography- .” Entitled, “To God be the Glory,” the book describes visions, dreams, and struggles along her spiritual journey to an ever-expanding relationship with God. Her interest in books and writing prompted her and four others to start a community-based publishing company R. E. G. S. Books, LLC, to provide an outlet for writers to share their stories with the public. Founding members were Regina Mixon, Emily Mixon, Gail Marie Hughes King, Shiemetre Brown Smith, and Shyeta Mozeke. Felonesecia West, Victoria Gipson, Linda Kinchelow, and Della Mixon, came on board shortly afterwards. R.E.G.S. initially was an acronym for its first four founders, however, since others came on board soon afterward it was deemed impractical to continue as an acronym and merely now stands for Regina and others. Since its inception in 2006, the company’s membership has grown.

“I believe books are meant to be read,” she said. ” And, I believe there is an audience waiting to read almost any type of book.” Her second book, ” Pursuing Your Purpose with Passion,” was released summer of 2008. Regina continues to bless others with her message, just as she has been blessed. She draws inspiration from her grandmother’s sayings: ” You know where you’ve been , but you don’t know where you’re going, so be careful how you treat others.”
