The Grossery Store

The Grossery Store is a book to inspire a health first, conscious movement, amongst kids from the African American and Hispanic communities.  The 13-year-old author of the book, Ziyan, lives by the motto: Healthy, Wealthy and Wise. She believes health is paramount and without it there is only low self-esteem, sickness and suffering. Ziyan wants to inform kids that their favorite snacks have a healthy option. She doesn’t believe kids should deprive themselves of treats, but she wants to highlight the use of a balance. In turn when this balance is achieved, it will lead to a healthier, fruitful, and active childhood. Her passion is standing up for the voiceless of society and being an advocate for change and the betterment of society.
