“Valentina’s glow was obvious from our first FaceTime conversation. I knew right away that we had found a strong connection. Her glow emanates from her dedication to and love for all that she is immersed in: writing, reading and playing the violin. She shares her phenomenal non-fiction pieces that are an honor to read. She intends to major in writing in college; then, go on to graduate school. She has inspired me to write some non-fiction. We talk weekly; she is a huge bright spot, and I am profoundly grateful that I am part of her ongoing blossoming.”

“ truly believe Mary and I could speak for days on end if given the opportunity. From Substack recommendations to sharing our mutual love for cats, our meetings are a form of escapism I look forward to every week. I am beyond grateful for her support and mentorship. Through her guidance, I have been able to grow as a writer and learn the importance of balance. Mary is an inspiration and a brilliant individual. It has been a gift to get to know her this year!”
