As a bookworm, Edem founded Booksie to create an environment where children can fall in love with books while making it extremely easy for them to find beautifully illustrated books that African publishers and authors were creating. They offer storytime lessons, reading camps, and book clubs, which give children mirrors to see characters who look and sound like them.

In this episode, Edem shares insights about her entrepreneurial journey and reflects on the relevance of their work and how they are nurturing children with a love for reading. She also reflects on their overarching goal of building a robust learning-to-read program in Africa.
