Reagan shares her journey in creating the beloved children's books "Coco LaSwish: A Fish from a Different Rainbow" and "Coco LaSwish: When Rainbows Go Blue." These stories are not just about the whimsical adventures of a fish, but also about teaching young readers the importance of self-acceptance and standing up against negativity. Beyond her writing, Reagan discusses her commitment to youth mentorship, her role as Program Director for Young Women Empowered, and her experiences taking youth on transformative journeys abroad. Join us as we explore how Reagan's work in literature and activism intertwines to empower and inspire the next generation. Learn more about her and her impactful work at www.rejjarts.com.
