At just 13 years old, I leaped — not just into writing, but into self-expression, vulnerability, and purpose. My book, Pursuing Dreams, was born out of the belief that young voices matter, and that sometimes the most powerful stories are the ones we’re too scared to tell aloud.

Pursuing Dreams is not just a collection of words — it's a guide, a safe space, and a hand to hold for children and teenagers who struggle to express themselves. We often hear adults saying, “You can talk to me,” but sometimes, the gap between intention and communication feels too wide. That’s where my book steps in — to bridge that gap.

As a teenager myself, I’ve seen how many of us bottle things up. Whether it’s fear of being misunderstood, fear of judgment, or simply not knowing how to start a conversation, it can be tough. I wanted to create something that helps kids and teens say, “This is how I feel.” I wanted to give them a voice.

But I also wanted parents to listen. Truly listen.

Pursuing Dreams is proof that age doesn’t define impact. You don’t need a degree or a title to start conversations that matter — just honesty, heart, and a pen.

If you’re a teen trying to speak up, a parent trying to listen, or someone simply curious about how young minds think, this book is for you.
