Happy National Poetry Day!
Poetry has such a powerful way of capturing moments, feelings, and stories that connect us all. To celebrate, I'll be sharing one of my recently written poems with you.
I hope it resonates with you as much as it did with me 💫

✨ Back to School with Hope 📚
This September, I supported 96 displaced children in Cameroon with books & supplies helping them embrace reading & writing despite the ongoing Anglophone crisis. 💛
Every child deserves the tools to dream & thrive. 🌍✨

In 2025, only 1 in 3 children (32.7%) said they enjoy reading, the lowest in 20 years.
Reading enjoyment has dropped 36% since 2005, with boys aged 11–16 most affected.
If we don’t ACT now, an entire generation may grow up disconnected from books, stories, and the joy of reading.
