Hi, I’m Lauryn
I’m Lauryn, a proud Afro-Portuguese girl making a difference through my words and actions. At just 11 years old, I’ve become a multi-awarded kidpreneur, author, and social activist. My roots in Cabo Verde and São Tomé and Príncipe inspire everything I do—from writing books that celebrate diversity to empowering children to love themselves and their heritage. I believe in the power of stories to inspire change and am dedicated to promoting inclusion, representation, and positivity for children everywhere.
