April Featured Business Woman of the Month- Daniella Blechner: Rewriting the Narrative of Black Authorship
Daniella’s story begins not with a publishing house, but with a dream to be a writer. From as early as age four, she knew she wanted to be an author. That childhood dream eventually produced her first book, Mr. Wrong, a blend of personal narrative, fiction, and reflective storytelling. Yet the road to publication was anything but smooth. Like many authors of color, Daniella encountered systemic barriers in traditional publishing.

The Architects of Change: Afro-Brazilian Women Leading in the Favelas
Brazil has one of the highest rates of racial inequality in the world, and the favelas—informal settlements housing over 11 million people—are at the center of this crisis.
