TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – Dozens of children and families gathered at Fairview Middle School Saturday for the launch of local author and former WCTV employee Shonda Knight\u2019s newest book.<\/p>\n
Knight debuted her second children\u2019s book, \u201cMy Omnilife: I Can Be Anything,\u201d and gave away 115 copies to kids, along with drawstring backpacks.<\/p>\n
Her first book, \u201cMy Omnilocks: Hair with Endless Looks,\u201d was released last year and encourages young girls to embrace and love their hair. Knight said her newest title is meant to inspire young boys.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe last line of the book says it doesn\u2019t matter where I\u2019m from, there\u2019s no limit to who I can become, and that\u2019s really the message,\u201d Knight said. \u201cNo matter what your circumstances are or your background, you can put your mind to it, you can be it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the big moments for me was having so many men in our community come out and let little boys see real-life examples of who they can become,\u201d Knight said.<\/p>\n
Local youth organizations were present to provide resources for families, and attendees enjoyed pizza and live performances throughout the celebration.<\/p>\n
