Introducing Clementina Makanjuola (Yomi): An Inspiring Story of Overcoming Obstacles:

Born on November 21, 1997, Clementina Makanjuola (Yomi) has faced extraordinary challenges stemming from Cerebral Palsy and developmental delays. Her early years were marked by a battle with dyslexia, a hurdle that didn’t deter her from pursuing her passion for working with young children. Despite her learning difficulties, Clementina earned qualifications in Health and Social Care, Childcare, Creative and Visual Arts, and Child Psychology level 3. Her warmth and charisma endeared her to the children she cared for.

Unable to pursue higher education due to her learning challenges, Clementina turned to writing children’s short stories and fiction as a therapeutic outlet and creative platform. “Luna’s Story” emerged from her own experiences, shining a light on dyslexia and the bullying she endured during her school years.

Today, Clementina continues to write and inspire young minds. Her story embodies resilience, determination, and an unwavering spirit. Richard Branson’s words, “Dyslexia is not a disability but a different way of learning,” resonate through Clementina’s work, making her book a beacon of awareness for these unique learning challenges.

Book Launch Event:

In honor of Dyslexia World Day on October 08, Clementina Makanjuola will launch her book in the US at 13625 Antelope Station, Poway, CA 92064, from 2 to 4 p.m. The event will feature the author presenting and discussing her book, along with expert insights into dyslexia, book signing, gifts, and refreshments.
