Last year, Kim Kardashian’s 11-year-old daughter North West jumped on a TikTok livestream with her mom and told the whole word she has dyslexia.
“Guys, I have dyslexia. Do you even know what that is?” she asked her audience. Kim seemed shocked that she was just telling everyone about this.
“Northie, you sure are spilling the tea on here,” Kim chimed in, and then said she was going to end the livestream early because “you are just saying way too much. I purposely don’t talk about stuff that you are going through.”
Now, nearly one year later, Kim is getting more comfortable with the idea of talking about her daughter’s struggles.
She went on her Instagram Stories a few days ago to share a clip of her friend Lauren Sanchez promoting her children’s book, The Fly Who Flew to Space, on the The View. In the clip, Sanchez talks about her struggles with dyslexia as a child.
Sánchez, who is the fiancée of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, spoke about her journey from barely being able to write due to her dyslexia to later becoming an award-winning journalist because of the support she received from a professor.
Kim found great strength in the message and wrote about why she decided to share the clip with her millions of followers…
I’m reposting this not bc she’s my friend and I love her, but because every mom who has struggled with their kids with dyslexia or any learning difference needs to hear that it will be okay.
How sweet!
