Recorded in 2023, this episode features our youngest guest yet Ainara Alleyne, the 13-year-old force behind Ainara’s Bookshelf, now a full-fledged TV show. What began as an Instagram account celebrating diverse stories has grown into a national platform with Ainara as host, co-creator, and executive producer.

In this episode, Ainara shares how a love for reading turned into a mission to uplift underrepresented voices, inspire young readers, and make sure everyone sees themselves in a story.
