Worldride Impact, in collaboration with Paul Revere Middle School, celebrated the opening of its inaugural Worldride Library with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The event, attended by prominent figures, community leaders, and education advocates, underscored the organization’s commitment to fostering global citizenship among children through various educational mediums.

Jamee Natella, the founder of Worldwide Impact, and Nick Melvoin, a member of the LAUSD board, presided over the ribbon-cutting ceremony, symbolizing the official launch of the library.

In addition to the library unveiling, attendees were treated to an exclusive preview of Jamee Natella’s debut children’s book, “Sam in London: Cheeky Kids, Medieval Blokes, And Giant Trousers,” part of the Worldride Adventures series. The event also showcased an immersive virtual reality experience developed in collaboration with Double-A Labs and two backpack prototypes crafted by GROUNDTRUTH, a London-based manufacturer known for its sustainable and ethical practices. A portion of the proceeds from these items will go towards supporting Worldride Impact’s mission of providing cultural education resources to underserved communities worldwide.

The ceremony concluded with a stimulating panel discussion featuring Natella, Andrea King, an experienced librarian and educator, and Natalie Byrne, the founder of blank space. The discussion centered around the significance of cultural programs, the necessity for educational resources, and the profound impact of Worldride Impact’s initiatives.

The event, held on Thursday, April 25, 2024, at Paul Revere Charter Middle School, attracted notable guests, including Perrey Reeves (Entourage), Robin Tunney (Prison Break), John Paul DeJoria (Paul Mitchell), Alan Mruvka (E! Entertainment Television Founder), and Daisy Lang (professional boxer), among others.

Although unable to attend in person, several personalities sent heartfelt video messages, including Richard Branson (Virgin Group), Jeremy Piven (Entourage), and Lea Thompson (Back to the Future).

Notable alumni of Paul Revere Middle School, including Will.i.am (Black Eyed Peas), Jeanie Buss (Los Angeles Lakers), and Jay Schroeder (former NFL quarterback), were also recognized for their achievements.
