Virtual Story Time
Help us make a change. Donate Today!
Through our Virtual Story Time project, authors of children’s book will read their books to elementary and middle school students across the globe.
In collaboration with The Startup Squad*, we plan to include children who have written and published children’s books in our list of authors. The schools that the child authors attend will be invited to participate in the story time sessions
*The Startup Squad is an organization that empowers girls aged 7-17 years with an entrepreneurial mindset so they can realize their potential, whatever their passions.

Screenshot of “Ask an Entrepreneur” Interview
On October 9, 2020, WIF’s Founder and CEO, Dr. Monique Y. Wells, joined Nazia Frank, Match Events Coordinator for Big Brothers Big Sisters Houston (BBBS), Brian Weisfeld, founder of The Startup Squad, and Rosemary Nwaosuagwu, an 8-year-old Houstonian who has published two books through her company called Books by Rossy, to record an “Ask the Entrepreneur” encounter on Zoom.
Weisfeld, Rosemary, and Dr. Wells answered questions submitted in advance by BBBS members and Rosemary read from her book entitled Lily’s Favorite Color.
The interview was recorded and is being shown on BBBS Houston’s Facebook page to allow the maximum number of viewers to listen to Rosemary respond thoughtfully to questions about her business.
