That's Lilliam Rivera, author of The Education of Margot Sanchez, talking to 54 seniors at International Community High School in the Bronx as part of their Behind the Book program last week
She grew up in the Marcy Projects - where some of our students live today - and now she's an award-winning young adult author, talking to students about writing stories, and encouraging them to tell their own.
That's the power of our work - inspiring students to love reading and writing.
We need your support to provide a continuous community to our students - so they can continue to connect, learn and grow - even remotely.
