I first discovered The Wheel of Time in high school during a time when I was often bullied for being smart and loving to learn (or maybe just for being the only one who looked like me in my class). The books gave me a world to escape into, one where strength, resilience, and purpose mattered. A place where women had voices and were not powerless. I carried the books everywhere. The books helped me survive some of the hardest parts of growing up.

Years later, I founded a seven-figure edtech company because I still loved to learn, and I figured out how. It wasn’t easy. There were moments when it felt like the weight of everything might break me.

Then the Wheel of Time series premiered, right around the time I launched my company, and watching it each week became a lifeline. It was a way to breathe, to dream again, to see those stories I loved as a teen brought to life in unique ways. In the darkest moments, this show reminded me of the light. It helped me keep going.

Thank you for honoring this story and for helping so many of us feel seen, strong, and never alone.

I know that it was a lot of work to put the show together and that you put in many late nights and early mornings.

I want you to know that you are seen. You are heard. I wish you all the success, from the biggest name to the one who only got a millisecond of screen time or worked behind the scenes. I look forward to seeing your work. I believe the show will go on.

Thank you.
