This children's book includes the lyrics of a companion song, also entitled, Don't Forget to Be! by Gloria Salisha-Lynn Williams.
Gloria Williams is an artist and presence advocate, who lives by the motto, "Unmute Me." As an overcomer of a life bound by insecurity, she uses her gifts of music, poetry and creative writing to empower others to find the courage to BE. This book was birthed out of her passion to cultivate confidence in children to stand up, show up, speak up, BE-Unmute me. Visit iamgloriawilliams.com for companion song.
