Natasha is the founder of BelieveNBooks, a movement born from a simple but powerful realization: too many books on one shelf, and not enough on another.

When she discovered that many children in her own community did not have a single book at home, she decided to act. What started as one book drive has grown into 25 chapters, 125,000 books donated, and more than 45,000 children reached, from local classrooms to partners across Africa.
