As reading tutors to elementary-aged students, the teens of Reach noticed that few children's books reflected their lived experience as youth of color. So they decided to take action and write their own. Now these D.C. teens are diversifying children's literature, one smart-fun-real-brave-bold story at a time.

She is the author of two children's books, Spanky the Pup when she was in tenth grade, and Carla and the Jazzed-Up Scorch-Torch Funtastic Sneaker when he was a junior. She enjoyes eating, watching YouTube, and trying new things. She wants to go to beauty school and open her own nail and hair salon.
