Now that she is 11, the young brilliant girl has seven books and a foundation called the Michelle Nkamankeng Foundation.

The foundation is focused on empowering young people especially those who are in less-privileged areas - at no cost at all.

Michelle, in an interview, revealed that her motivation to start writing came to life after she visited a book shop and realised that the books for children were all written by adults.

According to her, she questioned herself on why children could not also write books and tell the world of their creative imaginations and make an impact in the lives of others.

The same motivation appears as what has birthed her foundation as the books children will receive will empower them with the ability to read more and also acquire the creative sense and knowledge to also write their own books.

Michelle Nkamankeng is managed by her father with the assistance of her mother.
