We do have a very special guest on this episode: An author who specializes in Children’s literature, she is also a Mother by the name of Ms.Shaqkena Thompson who alongside her daughter, wrote a book called: AB4C! Shaqkena Thompson, an incredible children’s book author, devoted mother, and proud army veteran. Born and raised in the vibrant city of Jacksonville, Shaqkena has always had a passion for storytelling and connecting with young minds. Her experiences as a young girl and now a mother have shaped her perspective and imbued her writing with invaluable empathy and understanding. With each book, Shaqkena aims to amplify the adolescent experiences of children, providing them with relatable characters that look and feel like them, characters that they can identify with and find inspiration in. Her stories celebrate diversity, foster self-confidence, and encourage young girls to dream big and embrace their uniqueness.
