Valerie's freshmen effort Girls Like Me focuses on careers in the STEM field that have traditionally been underrepresented by minority women, but as you'll learn in the podcast minority representation in these fields is actually decreasing, which makes this book a very timely piece of literature. Kids our visual, and Valerie's book shows black women in these uniforms, which will certainly pique the interests of both children and adults.
Valerie is also passionate about helping other budding authors get off to a successful start by hosting her own video segment on Instagram that brings other authors together to share their stories of success, as well as some do's and don'ts they learned along the way.
