Good day, everyone! I know I have not posted in a while, but rest assured that I have not forgotten you 🩷
I am currently working on my first three videos, where I plan to tell you guys all I know and have learned about publishing my first book, the mistakes I made, and things I wish I had done differently.
I will also go over the different ways you can publish your book and what is best for you based on your needs. If this is something you are interested in, then please stick around. I have that in progress.
Thank you to all 11 of you who took the time to subscribe to my channel. I appreciate you, and may God bless you.

Create safe spaces for children again!
Data from all across the globe show that children no longer have their own spaces. In the early 2000's and 2010s, it was common for minors to have their own shows, an up-and-coming celebrity to obsess over, their music, fashion, and much more.
That has all been replaced by social media. Our young ones now watch the same content we watch, are exposed to the same conversations we are, and are forced to form opinions on topics they do not fully understand.
So what? Why is it wrong for a child to be exposed to the world we live in early on? What is so wrong with a 13-year-old having "open-minded" conversations about politics and the economic state of the world? What good will mindless TV shows do for them long term anyway?
Well, aside from the fact that algorithms only push the worst of the worst and they are filled with a sense of doom, how about we let the people who are legally allowed to vote and have jobs worry about politics and the economic state of the world?
This does not mean they are not smart enough to do those things, but why should they have to? Can we not have them worry about this at such a young age?
So how about more screen control? Less doomscrolling and more events, books, music catered to them?
How about we just let children be children again?
Let us start with fixing their attention spans and introducing them to hobbies like painting, reading, crocheting, and much more.
One step at a time, let's create safe spaces and media just for children again.
What steps will you take today to create a safe space for your little ones?

I really enjoy making these, the process of thinking about what content to make, what sounds to add, what pages to use, it’s all a bit unnerving considering I’m new to this but I’m happy me and Alia get to grow together and I’m thankful for you guys supporting me 💚🤍
