Anti-Bullying Book Club, Little Free Library, Westfield New Jersey
“Bullying is cruel so don’t act like a fool. Meaness is a sign of weakness. ” — Unknown
Last month I was so excited to host an anti-bulling Book Club at the Little Free Library in Westfield, New Jersey. Thanks so much to librarian Sarah Liptack for her hospitality and awesome acai bowls!
It was an awesome bunch of girls who shared their deep thoughts and experiences with bullying. Kudos to these young women for knowing who they are at such a young age. They were definitely inspirational!
So many great things are coming up this month. I am so honored to have been chosen to present my workshop: “Be Your Own Hero” for the District 83 Annual Conference, “Transforming the World With Words” on Sunday, May 5! (See “Upcoming Presentations” for info).
A shout out to Mikhail Torich (https://www.torich.nyc/) who will be filming the event for me! I am thrilled to be working together.
