+Introduce `createClerkClient` to avoid importing the Clerk class from clerk-js manually.
+
+This enables developers to create and access a Clerk instance in their application outside of React.
+```tsx
+
+import { ClerkProvider, createClerkClient } from "@clerk/expo"
+
+const clerkInstance = createClerkClient({ publishableKey: 'xxxx' })
+  
+// Be sure to pass the new instance to ClerkProvider to avoid running multiple instances of Clerk in your application
+<ClerkProvider Clerk={clerkInstance}>
+    ...
+</ClerkProvider>
+
+// Somewhere in your code, outside of React you can do
+const token = await Clerk.session?.getToken();
+fetch('http://example.com/', {headers: {Authorization: token })
+```
