Author Kamichi Jackson is a longtime bookworm who first discovered her love of reading as a child in the stacks of the South Norwalk Public Library (Norwalk, CT) and the classrooms of Brookside Elementary School (Norwalk, CT), Kamichi is not an elementary school teacher, but is most definitely an advocate of any activity or program that encourages children, especially those of under-resourced communities and school systems, to both lose and find themselves in the pages of good books.​ It's the reason she created the Reggie Brown character in the pages of her middle-grade book You're Too Much, Reggie Brown. And it's the reason she built a digital literacy program around the character at www.ReggieBrownReads.com.

Kamichi is also the author of the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award semi-finalist young adult book K My Name Is Kendra and the ebook Where Present Meets Past. Jackson has made numerous appearances in support of her work, including the Baltimore Book Festival.​​​
