C L. Threatt

Cedric Threatt is a husband, father, author, poet and speaker who lives in Odenville, AL. He developed a passion for writing and speaking at an early age after his 7th grade Literature teacher entered him in a poetry reading contest. He continued to read as well as write his own poetry through high school. After finishing high school, he enlisted in the United States Air Force where he served faithfully for four years. Upon returning home, he began working for Southern Natural Gas Company as a Gas Controller/SCADA Operator, but poetry was still his first love. As a result of his love for poetry and the spoken word, he has written and published 14 books for children and adults. He has been featured on numerous TV shows, newspapers, magazines and even a short film. He has visited many schools and other venues where he has shared his books and poetry with audiences of all ages. His dynamic personality has caused many to refer to him as Cedric “The Edu-Tainer,” because he educates and entertains his audiences. When Cedric’s not writing or speaking, he enjoys spending time with his family, reading and playing golf with friends. He has an earnest desire to be an inspiration to everyone through his writing and speaking talents, by helping them realize their potential within, and by encouraging them to follow their dreams.
