How did you get started with Words Alive?
I had been looking for a way to fulfill my high school volunteer requirements when I stumbled across the Words Alive website. As an avid reader, I was instantly intrigued and wanted to join right away!
What has been the best book you've read with Page Turners?
The best book I've read with Page Turners would have to be Muslim Girls Rise: Inspirational Champions of Our Time by Saira Mir. As a young Muslim woman myself, this book deeply resonated with me. Growing up, I never had the privilege of reading books that I could identify with and I'm thankful that Words Alive helped introduce them to me. I hope that it helps empower other minority children as they read more books representing them that they can positively relate with.
Why did you start reading books with Page Turners and why do you continue?
I love to read, and I always have!
What city are you based in?
Baltimore, Maryland
