Jade's Journey: The Newness, cartea 1

Julieann T. Randall was born in Kingston, Jamaica, raised in the Bronx, New York and currently resides in New Jersey. She obtained her degree from Medgar Evers College and City College (CUNY). Although she plays with numbers daily as an accountant, she is also the author of Jade's Journey: The Newness. This young readers' book tackles various themes from bullying, friendships, coping and adjusting to new environments, and being receptive to new cultures. Jade's Journey is currently available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Walmart, Kingston Bookshop, has traveled to readers in over 20 states, Indonesia, a few islands in the West Indies, two countries in Africa, and is implemented into two middle schools' curriculum in NYC. As a passionate literacy advocate and youth empowerment speaker; Julieann founded Finding the JEMS to shine a light on literacy and make reading a priority. Forming an army of relentless soldiers focused on higher education to support literacy development, she sees it as her duty to introduce underprivileged children to their right to literacy by exposing them to literature and educational programs they are normally not awarded. Julieann is here to inspire, motivate and empower the youth through her Beyond the Bridge Transitional Program and Polished Diamonds Workshops. Mark Twain said, "The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why". Julieann believes being an advocate for literacy and a youth empowerment speaker are her divine assignments. She suggests, we are all superheroes and possess our own "super-powers". These powers are our skills, talents, passion, and strengths. She has discovered many of her powers and is still uncovering more as she adjusts her cape.
