What if storytelling is one of the most powerful tools we still have to shape the next generation?

On this episode of The CJ Moneyway Show, CJ Moneyway sits down with Diann Floyd Boehm — award-winning children’s author, educator, storyteller, actress, singer, and creative voice dedicated to inspiring young minds through imagination and kindness.

Before becoming a full-time author, Diann spent years in classrooms, on stages, and raising a family — experiences that now shape the heartfelt stories and characters she creates for children around the world.

Her books, including:

• The Little Girl in the Moon: The Big Idea

• Charlie and the Tire Swing: How It Began

But this conversation goes beyond children’s books.

It’s about:

• the importance of imagination

• why kindness still matters

• storytelling as emotional development

• creativity in education

• and how stories help shape identity, empathy, and confidence in young people

• Why storytelling still matters in the digital age

• How imagination impacts confidence and emotional intelligence

• The lessons children need most today

• Balancing creativity, education, and parenting

• Why kindness should be taught intentionally

• The emotional impact stories leave across generations

• How parents and educators can nurture creativity in children

They understand stories.

And the stories we give them can influence who they become.

This episode is uplifting, reflective, and deeply meaningful for parents, educators, creatives, and anyone who believes in the power of positive storytelling.
