Severen “Sevy” Henderson is a dynamic author, firefighter, and creative entrepreneur whose work bridges grit, growth, and purpose. With a career as a Chicago Fire Department first responder, Sevy brings real-world intensity, resilience, and heart into every story he tells.

His books span fiction, personal growth, and inspirational nonfiction. He is the author of the gritty street novel Bleed: Shadows of Redemption, a raw story of loyalty, survival, and second chances inspired by hip-hop storytelling. He also wrote Built to Finish, a motivational guide for creators, dreamers, and professionals who are tired of starting over and ready to finally complete what matters most.

Sevy is also known for:

• Hey New Guy! The Candidate’s Guide to a Long Strong and Healthy Career
• Zoë Is Going to Be a Fire Engine!, a children’s book inspired by his life in the fire service

Through his work, Sevy explores identity beyond job titles, the discipline behind real change, and the power of finishing what you start. His voice blends real talk, storytelling, and encouragement for anyone navigating pressure, purpose, or reinvention.

Beyond writing, Sevy is the founder of Championized, a creative empowerment brand and platform that helps people turn ideas into finished work through content, coaching, and digital tools.

When he’s not writing or serving his community, Sevy is building, mentoring, creating, and helping others align performance with purpose.
