Tanya Wright created a puppet named Harriet with a reading program, blending her work in acting, writing, and literacy education. The project connected her with people who share her passion for children and families, and gave her something she believes the world needs.
Probably the final and most important thing is to have fun. Everything in this life is a learning opportunity. And you're not always sure how the dots connect, but I can tell you that they do, and they will. This little puppet that I created, Harriet and her reading program, her hair is a bit of a mess, but this was a combination of everything that I've done in my life. Acting, writing, being an educator, focusing my studies on literacy and reading and children. And I created something in the world that I hadn't quite seen before. And I was able to find a tribe, a tribe of people who care as much as I do about children and families, and created a thing that the world needs, and that gives me a lot of joy.
