Working as a data and AI professional, I see algorithms automate jobs. I watch industries being transformed. As a mother of two, I know my children will navigate a world radically different from the one I grew up in. So I asked myself: What skills will matter in an AI-powered future? The answer became a book series that celebrates curiosity, creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration as essential skills.

Follow the Leader and Become Amara are the first two. Read more about them below!
