MENTORING PAIR SPOTLIGHT

"I think Annie is my North Star."

Mentor Annie Pill and Mentee Shaila Moulee Share Their Experience of Growing Together

Despite starting their Girls Write Now mentorship virtually and many miles apart, Mentor Annie Pill and Mentee Shaila Moulee have formed a close bond that has gotten them through the ups and downs of life and writing.

The pair are featured in an interview for Channel Kindness, a project of the Born This Way Foundation, to kick off Kindness Collection, a series of stories by mentees, co-presented by Girls Write Now and Channel Kindness. Follow @girlswritenow and @channelkindness so you don't miss a story!
