Ari Smith is a published author, and child filled with endless potential for greatness, and has already, in her seven years of age, begun changing the world with her writing.  Born to Leonard and Briyana Smith, Ari was encouraged to read at an early age, and her parents fostered her bourgeoning talent in the area of creative writing.

Her media brand “Ari’s World” is focused on letting children (particularly of color) know that they can accomplish anything with focus, discipline, and hard work via her books, and Youtube page. She authored and published her first animated book Ari & Yoyo in 2022, which is available for distribution on Amazon, and her website, www.ItsArisWorld.com. Her second book Ari & Yoyo Stranger Danger, is focused on danger prevention and educating students on their safety nets, and how to steer clear from trouble and potential danger at school and within their community.

Her characters are inspired by family members, and her imagination; Ari’s long-term goals are to transition into the entertainment industry, via acting, and musical theatre, and one day take her stories to the Big Screen and Television. Ari’s future shines bright with her supportive family and barrier breaking ideas.
