About MYSELF:
About myself and how AniMo Books came to be:
- My name is Jesus Tueme, but you can call me JT. Reading has been my cornerstone since childhood, with countless memories of exploring book fairs and delving into stories with my parents, from fantasy books like Harry Potter to whodunits from Agatha Christie, and much more. This passion not only entertained me but became my bridge to success.
- When I moved to the United States from Mexico at 14, with minimal English, books were my refuge and my most important tool. Starting with familiar and simple tales in English, I expanded my reading to more challenging books, which directly improved my academic performance. My efforts then led me to attend and graduate from Duke University with a degree in Economics and Markets and Management.
- Professionally, reading has been equally transformative. As the International Sales Manager for a manufacturer over the past several years, my habit of staying informed regarding international events has fostered strong client relationships and contributed to our team's success in navigating the complexities of international business, resulting in consistent sales growth despite global challenges. This led my team to win the President’s “E” Award for Exports in 2021, the CT SBA Exporter of the Year Award in 2022, and the Manufacturing Summit Export Award from the CT District Export Council in 2023!
- Now, as a new parent, I am more aware than ever of the pivotal role reading plays in shaping lives. However, I’ve observed a concerning trend: the decline of reading interest among children, overshadowed by the allure of digital screens and passive entertainment, which is impacting their academic and personal growth.
- This observation led me to start working on AniMo Books, an innovative app designed to rekindle the love for reading among children. By transforming static book images into captivating animations, AniMo Books makes reading an immersive and engaging experience for children, encouraging them to discover the joy of stories. AniMo Books is not just another app; it's a revolutionary approach designed to transform the way children engage with reading and with digital devices. It’s a gateway to success, fostering the same love for reading that has been so crucial in my life.
- In a world where reading is becoming a lost art, AniMo Books stands as a beacon, proving that the key to success, now more than ever, lies in the pages of a good book!
