"How I Discovered My Power" revolves around Mia, an eight years-old African American girl who uses her parents’ teachings of affirmations to intrinsically motivate herself and impact the lives of her peers. Mia decides to share her love of affirmations with her teacher, Ms. Martin, who then allows Mia to lead her classmates through daily affirmations. As the story unfolds, some of Mia’s peers are not as comfortable affirming themselves as Mia is and finds the routine rather silly, leaving Mia discouraged. However, with the support of her parents and her personal affirmations, Mia finds that there is power in words and doesn’t allow herself to give up. After some time, Mia’s peers begin to express how using affirmations not only changed their way of thinking, but their perspectives on themselves and life.
