To inspire and support emerging writers, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds, by providing opportunities to share their stories and pursue their creative dreams. I aim to validate and encourage individuals who are embarking on new career or academic paths, empowering career changers and major changers to embrace their creativity and pursue their aspirations. Through this mission, I strive to be a catalyst for change in children's literature, promoting diversity, inclusion, and the unearthing of lesser-known stories that reflect the rich tapestry of human experiences.
