our audience will enjoy my perspective because I speak as a young author who created a book that highlights the voices of women in many fields. My work Bows and Ties grew from a desire to understand how women build confidence, find purpose, and shape their paths. I gathered nineteen interviews with founders, creators, leaders, and innovators who shared their stories with honesty and generosity. These stories show that ambition can begin at any age, and that inspiration often arrives when we see real people who faced real challenges and still continued to grow. I believe this message is powerful for listeners of all ages because it shows that achievement is not limited by background or youth. It begins when someone decides to take the first step.

I speak not only as the author but also as a student leader who knows what it feels like to have an idea that seems too big. Many young people think that they have to wait until adulthood to make an impact. My goal is to help them understand that they can start now. I created this book at sixteen, while balancing school, leadership roles, and community work. I learned that meaningful projects are built one choice at a time, and that storytelling is one of the strongest tools for empowerment. When listeners hear the voices of these women, they feel encouraged to imagine themselves in new ways. They see that success is not linear. It is shaped by creativity, mentorship, resilience, and the confidence to try even when the outcome is uncertain.

What makes my perspective unique is the contrast between my age and the depth of the stories I gathered. I approached each interview with curiosity about what motivates women and what lessons they would want younger generations to carry forward. Many of them shared insights about identity, leadership, community, and the importance of trusting your own voice. These themes resonate with listeners because they speak to universal experiences. People of all ages understand what it means to doubt themselves or to question their place in the world. My interviews show that doubt and progress often exist together, and that confidence is something we build through action.

I also hope to be interviewed about the creative process behind Bows and Ties. Listeners will enjoy hearing how the book came from a simple idea and grew into something larger than I expected. I can share how I selected interview subjects, crafted questions, and shaped the book into a cohesive narrative. I can also talk about the challenges of writing and editing as a young author, from learning how to manage deadlines to finding the courage to ask accomplished women to share their stories. These behind the scenes details help listeners understand that big projects are approachable when broken into steps.

Another topic I hope to discuss is how young people can use storytelling to build community. I speak about how stories create connection, spark empathy, and inspire new opportunities. I also love to share the impact the book has had so far. I have brought Bows and Ties to schools, libraries, and events where students have told me that the book made them feel seen. That is the greatest outcome I could hope for.

I would also welcome questions about leadership, motivation, and what it means to pursue goals with purpose. Many listeners enjoy hearing how teenagers think about ambition and responsibility. My message is simple. Your ideas matter. Your voice matters. Your dreams are allowed to take up space.
