My Journey of Achievements

Awards & Recognition

Being acknowledged as the youngest Afro-Portuguese author to publish a book in the UK is one of my proudest achievements. It represents not only my hard work but also the importance of creating spaces for children from minority backgrounds to shine.

Every award I receive is dedicated to the children I aim to inspire. From donating books to those in need to empowering young voices through workshops, my goal is to make a difference in the world, one story at a time.
