Uncultured: A Memoir

Author: Daniella Mestyanek Young Publication Date: September 2022 The question I had to ask throughout the book: Why? Why and why? Why would adults do this to themselves and their children?

She seized every opportunity presented to her and made the most of them. The unwavering support of her parents and their belief in her is deeply touching. It’s clear this played a vital role in shaping who she is today and what she has accomplished. Continue reading

Do it like a Woman - and change the world

Author: Caroline Criado Perez Publication Date: October 2019 This book is a compilation of stories highlighting remarkable women from around the world and their continuous efforts toward achieving equality. It serves as a megaphone for these incredible women and their ongoing work to create a more equitable world. It reminds us that by merely accepting, ignoring, and moving on, we undermine the actions and sacrifices of these remarkable individuals.
