My Scar, My Friend with Meagan Clements

Meagan tells her journey of working through her scars in her life, after having a surgery to remove an atypical mole from her abdominal area. From her experience, she shares the process of healing and understanding what scars represent.  Along with the recognition of scars, Meagan deconstructs the body positive movement and gives women permission to be real, acknowledge the bad days and still hold yourself in authentic emotions and understanding of self. 

Meagan, not only has a healing book, she is a teacher and children’s author, infusing humor, music and life’s lessons into these intriguing books. 

Meagan F. Clements is a credentialed schoolteacher and writer based in Southern California. She enjoys all aspects of music journalism and creative writing as well as working with children and teens. Her writing stems largely from real life people, events, and experiences.

Meagan earned her bachelor’s degree in liberal studies with a music concentration as well as a multiple-subject teaching credential and a master’s degree in education from Azusa Pacific University in sunny, Southern California. While studying at Azusa Pacific, Meagan became involved in writing for The Clause, the weekly campus newspaper, as a senior staff writer, immersing herself in news, opinion, feature, entertainment, and sports reporting.

Upon graduating from Azusa Pacific, Meagan continued to pursue her undeniable love for music freelancing album reviews, live show reviews, and in-depth band/artist profiles. Meagan has interviewed the likes of blues guitarist Jonny Lang, pop/rock group Hanson, and singer/songwriters Tyler Hilton (One Tree Hill) and Jon McLaughlin to name just a few.

Meagan has also interviewed Timmy Rough of the German hard rock band, The New Roses, and Sam Lewis, who was praised by Chris Stapleton as a “modern Townes Van Zandt” for the performing arts platform, youbloom. 

Meagan’s greatest passion is integrating her love for music into her books. Whether it’s the poem “Slipping Inside” — a tribute to the vocal stylings of one of her favorite singers, Counting Crows front man Adam Duritz — featured in her 2019 release, Bug Off!, or her most recent book series about a family of house flies with humanlike characteristics (one of whom is a young fly into rock and roll and blues music), Meagan rarely writes without offering her passion for the art of singer/songwriters and hip, slightly defiant and edgy rock bands.
