Diverse Minds
The book "Mabel The Cat And Her Magnificent Friends" that I wrote and illustrated won first place for B'nai Brith's Diverse Minds book competition; created to promote the values of diversity and inclusion through storytelling and illustration.
My book has been professionally published and has been distributed to Toronto elementary schools and libraries. In addition, the first-place prize included a $3000 scholarship.
This incredible experience has guided me in the further development of invaluable skills including perseverance, courage, and creativity. And most important to me, I have been able to share a meaningful message to the youth in my community.
I am very honoured to have had the chance to read my story to the kindergarten class at my old middle school. I have volunteered in the kindergarten rooms at my past schools for 4 years during my lunch breaks, during these times I got to spend so much time reading and learning with young kids, this is what inspired me to create my own children's book.
