Storytelling has always been an important part of my life. Growing up, writing gave me a way to imagine, express myself, and turn my ideas into something meaningful. Over the years, I have written five books, tutored middle school students, and created an app with over 10,000 users that helps students tell their own stories. Through these experiences, I learned how powerful storytelling can be, especially for young people who need a safe space to be creative and feel heard. I created this nonprofit because I love teaching, I love storytelling, and I want to share that joy with children living in shelters who may need encouragement, creativity, and confidence the most.
