How Pilot Came to Life

I'm Joy with Estrella, a Latina content creator, and storyteller on a mission to spread joy, do good in the world, and inspire others to follow their dreams, even when they're scared.

Through my adventures, acts of kindness, and meaningful connections with strangers, I share what it looks like to live life fully and turn dreams into reality, including becoming a children's book author!

Pilot's First Flight was inspired by my late father and the last voicemail messages he left me before he passed. I challenged myself to create my very first children's book in just 11 weeks, with absolutely no experience.

I promised myself I would share it with the world on 11/11, the anniversary of my dad's passing, whether it was finished or unfinished.

And that's how Pilot Mail was born. It's a children's book done differently and edited by the community.

But this is only the beginning! My ultimate dream is to turn Pilot's First Flight into a fully illustrated, published children's book that reaches children and families around the world.
