Speechless, a children's picture book project
In October 2020, I self-published a children's picture book with my public speaking coach, Matt Eventoff. Speechless was initially published online for free in English, Spanish, and Portuguese so children from diverse backgrounds could benefit from its empowering message.
Thanks to great demand, we published a paperback version in English and Spanish. All proceeds are dedicated to supplying low-income students with free copies of the book.
