The Relational Need for Reading and Writing

Shaila Kapoor has spent two decades launching tech products and leading marketing in software, cellular, and biotech. Her true passion, however, lies in education. She has co-founded a charter school in underserved California, created education software during COVID, and advanced girls’ education in northern Pakistan and Afghanistan.

This year, she launched Boys Who Write, a global nonprofit fostering boys' communication skills to enhance emotional well-being, build meaningful relationships, and thrive as community leaders. The program combines male mentorship, a love for reading and writing, and relationship-building skills in a virtual format, connecting boys across diverse boundaries.

Unlike traditional online learning, Boys Who Write uses a dynamic broadcast style inspired by gaming streams and travel shows, paired with custom games and tools. This immersive approach nurtures academic, social, and emotional growth, addressing the critical communication challenges boys face today.
