Would You Like To Sponsor A Child
By Purchasing a Children's Book?

“Support a child’s future by purchasing a book! As a
writer and social activist dedicated to nurturing young
minds, I believe that every child deserves the magic of
stories and the power of knowledge. For every book you
buy, I donate one to a child in need, spreading joy,
education, and hope. Join me in making a
difference—your purchase can inspire, uplift, and
transform a young life. Let’s create a world where no
child is without the wonder of books.”

A Child Reads For Free

“Imagine a world where every child, regardless of their background, has access to the joy of reading. That world begins with you. With every book you purchase, you make it possible for a child to read for free. As a writer and social activist, I am committed to ensuring that no child is left without the chance to explore, learn, and dream through the power of stories. Your support means more than a purchase—it means giving a child the gift of imagination, hope, and the love of learning. Join me in this mission and help make the promise of ‘A child reads for free’ a beautiful reality.”

"Awaken Your Potential By Reading
My Memoir"

ALLOW ΜΕ ΤΟ REWRITE My Story

In 1991, a young girl’s life is forever altered when the two people holding her family together tragically perish in a house fire, an event covered by the Chicago Tribune. What unfolds is an inspirational story that exemplifies how we can always choose to rise above our circumstances.

As an 8-year-old, Kemisha Swan, fondly known as Mimi, was a spirited young girl who loved frolicking, dancing, and indulging in typical childhood joys. But when her grandmother and step-granddad pass away in the fire, this sets in motion a life she never thought would be hers.

As she navigates group homes and foster care, she forges meaningful connections along the way, creating a new sense of family. Kemisha also embraces novel experiences like attending school for the first time, ice skating, and other epic adventures with her newfound loved ones; she gradually rewrites her story.

We Are Our Mother’s Children is a compelling memoir that shows that we can find something beautiful even in despair.

Through vivid retelling and an engaging narrative, this memoir entertains, uplifts, and inspires readers of all ages, from to and up!
