“I created the Lil Herbie Series to give children the confidence to use their voice, believe in themselves, and overcome challenges like bullying and self-doubt,” said Sherrika Myers, founder of Every 1 Voice Matters. “Literacy is the foundation of success, and through storytelling, we’re able to inspire the next generation.” This initiative aligns with Read Across America, a national literacy movement that encourages children to embrace reading. With the help of Lil Herbie, community leaders, and local officials, Myers is making learning engaging, interactive, and fun.
