Tacony Academy Charter Elementary School on Nov. 12 welcomed author and adventurer Pelumi Nubi for an interactive assembly intended to bring lessons in courage, curiosity and resilience to kindergarten and first and second grade.
Nubi shared the story behind her picture book, Lumi Drives from London to Lagos, drawing on her journey across 17 countries in hopes of inspiring the pupils to embrace new experiences and believe in what’s possible.
In 2024, the British-Nigerian travel creator made headlines after completing a 74-day solo drive from London to Lagos, Nigeria in a small purple car named Lumi.
During the assembly, students heard about Nubi’s experience, asked questions and learned from Nubi how stepping outside their comfort zones can lead to new discoveries. ••
