Celebrating Black Excellence: Nine-Year-Old Best-selling Author Launches New Books and Affirmation Cards to Inspire Confidence & Diversity in Children’s Literature for Black History Month 2024

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Liverpool, UK – 18th October 2024 – As the world celebrates Black History Month 2024, young literary prodigy Destiny Likambi continues to break barriers and inspire future generations. At just nine years old, Destiny is already a best-selling author of nine enchanting children’s books. Now, she is expanding her mission of empowerment and inclusion with the launch of her new book collection and a Positive Affirmation Card Bundle designed to build confidence, resilience, and self-love in children.

Destiny, who made history at the age of eight by becoming the youngest female author to write and publish nine books, is committed to fostering diversity in children’s literature and empowering young minds. Her latest releases—accompanied by an inspiring deck of positive affirmation cards—aim to instill important life lessons, promote self-belief, and cultivate a strong sense of identity, especially among young readers from underrepresented backgrounds.

Speaking on the launch of her new bundle, Destiny shares:

“I want every child to believe in themselves and know they can achieve anything they dream of. My books and affirmation cards are meant to remind children that they are special, unique, and capable of great things.”

Launching During Black History Month 2024

As the UK commemorates Black History Month, Destiny’s work is a celebration of young Black excellence and creativity. Her stories not only enchant young readers but also feature diverse characters, offering much-needed representation in children’s literature. This Black History Month, Destiny aims to encourage children around the globe to embrace their uniqueness, be proud of who they are, and find strength in diversity.

In addition to her three new books and affirmation card bundle, Destiny will host a series of virtual storytelling, creative writing, and confidence-building workshops, where she will engage with young readers, offering them an opportunity to explore her exciting new releases and learn how to use positive affirmations to overcome challenges and develop self-confidence.

Workshops Include:

  • Storytelling and reading sessions: Bringing her magical worlds to life through interactive readings.
  • Creative writing workshops: Encouraging children to explore their wide imagination and unlock their creativity – crafting their own stories.
  • Confidence-building sessions: Teaching children the power of positive affirmations to boost self-esteem and resilience.

Promoting Representation and Empowerment in Literature

Destiny’s work is a shining example of how young voices can make a significant impact in the world of literature. As she continues to pave the way for future young authors, she also raises awareness of the importance of diversity in children’s books, providing characters and stories that children of all backgrounds can relate to and be inspired by.

Through her Positive Affirmation Card Bundle, Destiny offers simple but powerful daily messages that help children develop a mindset of self-love, courage, and perseverance—qualities that are crucial in today’s world.

Dr Sylvia Forchap-Likambi, Destiny’s mother and coach, reflects on the importance of positive role models:

“In a world where children can so easily be swayed, marginalised, or placed in boxes they do not belong to, it is essential that they have positive role models who inspire them to recognise their uniqueness and worth. Children need to understand the power of their identity and have the confidence to know they are valuable, no matter the labels society may try to impose on them. I am incredibly proud of Destiny and her siblings, who are also best-selling authors of multiple books. Destiny reminds me a lot of my younger, confident, and fearless self.”
