YOU GOT THIS!
Unleash Your Awesomeness, Find Your Path, and Change Your World
In You Got This! Maya shares her incredible journey to becoming an artist, designer, philanthropist, and business owner. She provides a creative blueprint for teens and young adults, along with the tools she used to build an authentic, exciting, and connected life, and offers creative prompts for cultivating success. So let your creativity and passion flow freely and watch as your world transforms—it all starts with you!
Everyone is talking about the entrepreneur, animator, eco-designer, and girls’ rights activist Maya Penn. Her TEDWomen Talk has been viewed over 1,200,000 million times (and is one of the top 15 TEDWomen Talks of all time). Now this amazing teenager has written an inspirational handbook for teens and young adults to help them discover their passions and maximize their full potential for a creative, successful life.
Maya Penn is a remarkable teen entrepreneur who has given three TED Talks, created her own eco-friendly fashion line, developed animated films, and appeared on The View with Whoopi Goldberg. She has even been name-checked by bestselling authors Gabrielle Bernstein, Steve Harvey, and Eve Ensler. All while still in middle school!
Although Maya is extraordinary in many ways, and her success is a testament to her own creativity, passion, and fearlessness—these are traits that can be cultivated in all of us.
Maya Penn is a fifteen-year-old philanthropist, environmental activist, entrepreneur, eco-designer, inspirational speaker, artist, animator, coder, illustrator, and writer. She is the CEO of Maya’s Ideas, a company she began in 2008 when she was just eight years old. She creates eco-friendly clothing and accessories, and her designs are sold all over the world, with customers as far away as Denmark, Italy, Australia, and more. She has given three TEDTalks, and her TEDWomen Talk has gone viral worldwide with over 1.2 million views. She is the youngest woman to do two back-to-back official TEDTalks.
Key Selling Points
A TEEN TED STAR. Maya Penn is only fifteen years old, but she has given three TEDTalks, one of which garnered
1.2 million views and has been named one of the official top-15 TEDWomen talks of all time. She is the youngest
person ever to be invited to do back-to-back TEDTalks. Maya's also a remarkable teen innovator who has created her
own eco-friendly fashion line, animated films, online business, blog (with 77,000 readers), and non-profit organization.
Now she's ready to inspire other teens with her first book, YOU GOT THIS!
CELEBRITIES LOVE MAYA. Oprah Winfrey is very aware and supportive of Maya, and Amy Poehler's Smart Girls blog
has run a feature on her. She has very influential mentors and friends, including Steve Harvey, Eve Ensler, Sara
Blakely, Dr. Bernice King (Martin Luther King's daughter) and New York Times bestselling author Gabrielle Bernstein, all of whom
are eager to support Maya and this book. Maya has been featured in two other books and is often asked to participate
in projects like television documentaries, etc.
WE EXPECT SUPPORT FROM THE WORLD OF TECHNOLOGY. Maya also has high-level relationships in
the tech world, including Alexis Ohanian (co-founder of Reddit), Megan Smith (former VP at Google; current Chief
Technology Officer of the United States) and Pat Mitchell (current CEO of The Paley Center and organizer of the
official TEDWomen's events).
POTENTIAL PROMOTIONAL COLLABORATION WITH HEARST. We are in discussions with Hearst
about doing a feature on Maya in Seventeen Magazine to coincide with the book publication.
RESONATES WITH CHRISTIAN TEENS AND FAMILIES. Maya and her family are Christian, and while this
isn't a big part of the book it's a major part of Maya's life and her background. There will be promotional opportunities
in this world for Maya and the book.
A SOUGHT-AFTER SPEAKER WITH CORPORATE CONNECTIONS. Maya regularly participates in
speaking engagements: in addition to her TEDTalks, she has given two speeches at Girls, Inc. and has twice been a
panelist and speaker at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights. Maya also receives requests to partner with
corporations, such as Unilever, and has been a speaker for IBM. She spoke to 3,500 Girl Scouts on 5/16/2015 at the
annual #GirlPOP conference.
AN AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR. Maya was honored in 2012 at the SCLS Women's Drum Major for Justice
Awards, is the 2013 Black Enterprise Teenpreneur of the Year, and winner of the 2014 21st Century Leaders Award.
Maya is an inspirational, relatable role model for young women whose message of finding and harnessing passion to
make a difference in the world will resonate with a broad audience, particularly teen girls and young entrepreneurs.
APPEALS TO READERS OF BOOKS LIKE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TEENS. Teens can relate
to Maya, but we also expect parents to respond to her message and buy this book for their kids, just like they do with
Sean Covey's perennial bestseller.
