My journey with Racer’s Adventures began with my son, whose real-life experiences inspired the stories. As a parent, I wanted to create something that made learning about emotions and communication fun, not frustrating.

With over a decade of experience in sales and customer success, I’ve always loved building relationships and helping people grow, and now I’m channeling that same passion into stories that nurture empathy, kindness, and confidence in children. Every smile, every “aha” moment from a child who learns to use their words reminds me why this work matters.

Our first book, Racer Learns How to Use His Words, became the beginning of something much bigger. Parents and educators began reaching out, sharing how Racer’s story helped children express emotions and practice self-control in positive ways. That feedback inspired me to expand Racer’s Adventures into a full educational brand that combines storytelling, music, and interactive learning tools.

With this Kiva loan, we will produce our first Racer’s Affirmation Cards, launch new books in the series, record the official Racer Soundtrack, and protect our intellectual property through trademark filings. We’ll also invest in marketing to reach more families, schools, and early educators who believe in mindful education.

My dream is for Racer’s Adventures to become a trusted brand that empowers children to communicate with confidence and kindness, because when kids learn to use their words, they learn to lead with heart.
