I have three books and one music album published. My content is all integrated with SEL, the 7 mindsets, the growth mindset, trauma-informed care, language enrichment, social skills topics, etc. To date, I have sold around 15K copies of my books (90% of which has been distributed to public schools nationwide), presented to around 120 schools, and reached 70K+ students with my books and music.
