Folasade Adeoye ’23 is fulfilling her dreams of becoming a published author. She recently published “Sunny’s Purpose,” a children’s book that teaches kids about the importance of chasing your dreams.

College is on her mind, but she and her parents are also very excited about the prospects of a literary career.
