We had the good fortune of connecting with Farrah Hodgson and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Farrah, how does your business help the community?
My business, Daughter of the King Publishing, strongly believes in making a positive impact on our community through our uplifting and inspirational content.

That is why our products and services are designed to provide hope, encouragement, and guidance.
Through our publications, we aim to empower individuals and foster resilience. We believe that stories can be transformative and have the power to inspire positive change in the lives of our readers. By sharing relatable narratives and practical insights, we help individuals navigate their own trials, tribulations, and challenges. I am passionate about people sharing their testimonies and stories because I believe in the power of storytelling to inspire and bring hope to others.
Through Daughter of the King Publishing, I aim to provide aspiring authors with the tools, guidance, and support they need to turn their stories into published works. I want to create a platform for individuals to share their testimonies and experiences, just like I did, and to empower others to find healing, growth, and transformation through writing.
At Daughter of the King Publishing, our mission is to empower and support aspiring authors in sharing their stories and experiences with the world.

Farrah Hodgson is a remarkable individual, a loving mother of five children, and a proud grandmother of two beautiful granddaughters. She is the CEO and founder of Daughter of the King Publishing, a growing publishing company based in Atlanta, Georgia.
Farrah’s journey to Atlanta was driven by her dreams, vision, and goals as an aspiring author. Determined to make her mark in the literary world, she embarked on the mission to build her publishing company and book cafe. With her dedication and hard work, she has successfully published six books, showcasing her talent as a gifted author.
In recognition of her incredible achievements, Farrah was honored by her community with the prestigious “2016 Woman on Fire Single Mother Award.” This accolade truly reflects her inspiring nature and the love she pours into being a superhero mom.
My story: In 2011 I had a tumor on my spine, I found out after I was pregnant with my youngest daughter, child #5. The Pain was unbearable to the point where as a single mother, I couldn’t take care of my kids. So I had to do surgery, but while I was in surgery they hit a motor nerve and I became paralyzed from the waist down for a couple of years. While in that season, I surrendered to God and gained a relationship with him. I needed his supernatural strength, HE BECAME MY HEALER AND DELIVER. He then revealed to me my Purpose, which was to become a published author, then that opened the door to so many platforms of Prosperity. I knew it was only GOD because I was a high school dropout, a burlesque entertainer- a “SHOW GIRL” and I had a long history of loving the wrong men that distracted me from who GOD created me to be. With all that action-packed dramatic life, I didn’t like reading books. But I know now those crazy things were all for a purpose. Those things gave me content for all my books. I pushed past my comfort zone and took a leap of faith in 2016 and went into full-time ministry and then became a published author of six books. I am now the CEO OF DAUGHTER OF THE KING PUBLISHING.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I really don’t have a leisure or fun life being a mompreneur, but I do enjoy restaurants in Midtown and Buckhead. I love the movie and entertainment industry, so I’m always hoping to encounter a famous actor or artist I heard the big peach restaurant. The Big Peach, because it’ is a celebrity hotspot, and many of the musicians, actors, and professional athletes living and working in the city frequently visit the Loews Atlanta Hotel. I would also like to stay in this hotel because it’s celebrity bound. Other than that, Cirque Blu Seafood House, and Atlanta Fish Market
I still haven’t made it to T.I’s trap museum
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
First and foremost God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, without their love, leadership and provision, I would not be where I am today‼️
My mother for being there to help me with my children through my mompreneurial up and down journey
