Chasing Chase by Charesse Barett Book Cover
Note: Charesse Forbes (Barrett) '18 (SOIS) has authored and self-published the first of several children's books that will be a part of the series she created called 'Chasing Chase'. 'Book 1: Where's My Toy? (Honesty)' is sure to be a favorite in any child's library/collection!

Charesse attended RIT's College of Business as a Finance major from the years of 1998 - 2003. Unfortunately, she left before completing her degree. After experiencing many of life's hills and valleys she returned as a student of The School of Individualized Studies and obtained her Bachelors of Applied Science with a Major in Management & Finance, and a Minor in Social Inequalities in January of 2018. Charesse's goal is to positively impact the nation's youth by equipping them with lessons centered around integrity and self-awareness through fun short stories! The content is loosely based on real life experiences with her four children. You can support Charesse by purchasing a book today! The outlets and links for purchase are listed below:
