About Us
-Dina Jordan and Lisa Forbes, Co-Creators/Authors-
Dina and Lisa have been best friends since starting out in the fashion industry as teens. They had the opportunity to travel the globe and realized how much they had learned through their exposure to the many cultures, geography and animals of the planet. Girl Around The World has been created from the desire to share what they learned through "edutaining" content. Lisa studied journalism and creative writing at the university of Missouri and Dina is an author, children's book illustrator and artist, having studied at Art Center College of Design and Fashion Institute of Technology. Her paintings have been shown in multiple New York City galleries.
The introductory Girl Around The World Diary takes place in their beloved home of New York City, a melting pot of many cultures, and shares the magic of unity and diversity through the drawings and words of children.
