LITERARY LOCAL | Randi Moxi

A Pittie Pool Party

Randi Moxi had a busy life as a former entrepreneur, marketing director, brand strategist and event producer.  She also served as Mrs. Illinois in 2014 and in 2017 she was elevated to Pageant Director.  While in her five-year tenure as Director, she helped Illinois get to top 5 in all age divisions and bring home the International crown four times. At age 44, Randi shifted from helping make others’ dreams come true to blessing children and animals through the gift of story.

 

During the Covid pandemic, Randi was bedridden with a repetitive injury. While being forced to focus on her health, she and her husband rescued a pit bull type dog whose rehabilitation and decompression time was mostly spent with Randi in bed.  “We healed together and wrote a book,” says Randi.  “She’s the star of the story.” They now own five pit bull mix fur children. 

 

Although pit bulls are superior in intelligence, strength and loyalty, they are the most bullied breed of dog.  A Pittie Pool Party is the story of a girl who rescues a pit bull type dog and establishes an understanding of how judging any person or creature before knowing them as an individual can cause harm to them and us. The book embodies the incredible power of friendship, inclusivity, acceptance and animal rescue. “The best part of the book for the kids is always the dog,” says Randi. “Seeing a dog be judged in the story engages their empathy and is relatable to them if they have ever felt judged themselves.”

 

Along with authoring her books, Randi is a motivational speaker and a featured school enrichment assembly presenter.  A portion of proceeds from all speaking engagements and book sales benefit animal rescue. 

 

A Pittie Pool Party is available online at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
