She spoke about her journey as an author and illustrator, and more recently, how she delved into the world of publishing with a leap of faith into the literary world.

“Articulate Africa is such a special event for authors. I was interviewed on stage alongside four other authors. It was truly an amazing experience to be involved in such a fantastic event. Everyone there was so accommodating, supportive, and encouraging, which made the experience even more special. Being invited to speak was such a proud moment in my career and journey, and what began as a dream has now grown even further,” said Carrol.

She launched her first children’s book, Sleepover at Grandma, in March 2025, inspired by her little boy’s experiences with his grandmother, followed by her second book, Busy Day with Daddy, in November 2025,” said Carrol.

She explained that her goal as an author is to equip parents with the inside knowledge of what children deal with. She added that children are incredible, each in their own way, and her passion is to share that with the world.
