A creator's voice
“My work has not only been digitalized…”
Over the years and months my work has not only been digitalized, but its impact in the literary world can readily be observed, thanks to READVERSITY. Not only has my maiden book, Poems on Love, been translated into three European Languages. Now, my book has gained a world-wide recognition, also made possible by READVERSITY.
In addition, the Audio-native AI production for our Poems have vivified the whole narratives, and we guess our listeners out there will appreciate this wonderful innovation!
Finally, I wish the CEO of the company, Mr. Israel Kehinde, along with his coworkers all the best in their future maneuvers and endeavors.
