Review Quotes
As the middle schooler processed the experiences with her family, she decided to channel pain into purpose by writing a speech about why racism is wrong -- one that would inspire Saily to become an author and share her message more widely in the form of a book. Deena Zaru-ABC News
At 12, Saily Bah turned pain into purpose, writing Rise Above after facing racism in school. Her message: "Never let anyone dim your light." Saily proves even the youngest voices can spark change. Attorney Ben Crump
