Congratulations, Zaila…

In 2021, Zaila Avant-garde captivated the world on her way to winning the Scripps National Spelling Bee. It was right then when University of Maryland President Darryll Pines offered her a full scholarship.🐢 Four years later, Zaila is officially a Terrapin at the University of Maryland! She's studying cell biology and molecular genetics, and also working on her sixth book. One of the other five, titled “It’s Not Bragging If It’s True,” was a New York Times bestseller. Way to go, Zaila. We can't wait to see what's next! 🐝❤️
