OUR MISSION

Based in New Jersey, my mission is simple but powerful:

To boost literacy through meaningful, joyful wordplay—starting in the communities that need it most.

With over 20 years of experience working with at-risk youth, I’ve seen firsthand how closely literacy is linked to confidence, opportunity, and crime prevention. SAYWORD! was built to transform how people engage with words—turning learning into a game, and games into tools for real change.

To become a global classic in word learning—like a deck of cards or a Scrabble board—used in classrooms, living rooms, and learning spaces everywhere.

I envision a world where word roots are as fun and familiar as emojis—where teachers, families, and language lovers connect over the joy of discovering how words work.
