Preserving Our Linguistic Heritage: How Divya Mistry-Patel Is Revolutionizing Bilingual Education for Future Generations
By Ovais Riaz & Waa Say - Team Editorial Evrima Chicago BIRMINGHAM, GB / / June 30, 2025 / The Silent Crisis of Disappearing Languages In our increasingly globalized world, UNESCO warns that nearly half of all spoken languages are currently endangered, with one disappearing every two weeks. Against this sobering backdrop, educator and author Divya Mistry-Patel has emerged as a passionate advocate for linguistic preservation through her groundbreaking work in children's literature. Mistry-Patel is an educator, entrepreneur, and celebrated children's book author. She has taken a bold step toward making bilingual learning both accessible and engaging. A Personal Journey Becomes a Cultural Mission Born into a multicultural Gujarati family in the UK, Mistry-Patel experienced firsthand the gradual erosion of heritage languages in diaspora communities. "I watched cousins who could understand Gujarati but couldn't speak it, and eventually children who couldn't even understand," she recalls. This personal observation sparked what would become her life's work-creating tools to make language learning accessible, engaging, and intergenerational. Her latest creation, Mari Rang Be Range Biladi (translated as "My Colourful Cat"), represents far more than just another bilingual picture book. It's a comprehensive language-learning system that includes: Dual-language storytelling with culturally rich narratives Gujarati alphabet introduction with phonetic guides Comprehension exercises designed for family participation QR-code linked audiobook for proper pronunciation Full English translation for non-Gujarati-speaking parents Opportunities to see that diversity is to be celebrated and beauty is within us all The Growing Demand for Multilingual Education Recent studies from the University of Chicago demonstrate that bilingual children develop stronger executive function skills, showing 20% greater cognitive flexibility than monolingual peers. Yet despite these proven benefits, the publishing industry has been slow to respond. A 2022 survey by the Cooperative Children's Book Center revealed that while 33% of U.S. children come from bilingual homes, only 12% of children's books published that year offered any non-English content. In the UK, around 20% of children speak or understand more than one language. Furthermore, around half of the world's population speaks two or more languages. Mistry-Patel has positioned herself at the forefront of changing this disparity. "This isn't just about language retention," she explains. "It's about giving children the tools to navigate their multicultural identities with confidence." Breaking Barriers in Publishing The path to bringing Mari Rang Be Range Biladi to market reveals systemic challenges in the publishing industry. Major retailers often relegate bilingual books to "special interest" sections-when they carry them at all. Traditional publishers frequently reject bilingual manuscripts, citing "limited market potential." Yet professionals continue to emphasize the importance of encouraging parents to speak in their mother tongue with their children. Research has shown the benefits of bilingual learners, yet this is not reflected on our bookshelves. In a world where native languages are slowly fading from everyday use, Mistry-Patel is on a mission to ensure cultural heritage and linguistic roots are preserved. Undeterred, she adopted an innovative hybrid approach: Self-publishing to maintain creative control and raise awareness Partnering with educational institutions for distribution Developing teacher resources to encourage classroom adoption Leveraging social media to build direct community support This strategy has yielded impressive results, with the book gaining traction in both educational circles and Gujarati communities worldwide. Recognition and Future Horizons The impact of Mistry-Patel's work is gaining institutional recognition. She currently holds nominations for: Kent Women in Business Awards 2025 (Runner-Up in Innovation Award & Finalist in Women In Education Award) The Tutors' Association Awards (Shortlisted in two categories: Education Resources for Tuition 2025 and Tuition Partner of the Year 2025) The Diversity Book Awards (shortlist announcement imminent) Through her company, Academic Achievements Ltd, she is now developing versions in Punjabi, Hindi, Malayalam, and Tamil-potentially reaching over 500 million native speakers globally. A recent partnership with local schools and Kent libraries has made the book freely available to local families, with plans for similar initiatives nationwide. How Readers Can Support the Movement Mistry-Patel emphasizes that preserving linguistic diversity requires a community effort: Request bilingual books at local bookstores and libraries Share experiences using #MotherTongueMatters Engage with content on Instagram and Facebook Participate in virtual reading events Gift bilingual books for birthdays and holidays Read to your children or listen to audiobooks together The Ripple Effect of Language Preservation As linguist Dr. Ananya Sharma notes, "When we lose a language, we don't just lose words-we lose entire ways of seeing the world." Mistry-Patel's work represents a vital countercurrent to this loss, creating what educators are calling "the building blocks of cultural continuity." With Mari Rang Be Range Biladi available on Amazon and her expanding series underway, Mistry-Patel is proving that one passionate voice can indeed change the narrative-in any language. Mistry-Patel has more books coming soon in both South Asian languages and in English. The books are all designed to empower young minds and encourage their love for learning. Through Mistry-Patel's experience in the education sector, her experience over the years has allowed her to create resources with neurodivergent students in mind.

Guardians of the Gray Net: Evrima Chicago's Elite Mission for Aging and Ultra-Visible Clients
Why Evrima Chicago is Pioneering A11y, Cybersec & Reputation Management for an Aging Digital World NAPERVILLE, IL / ACCESS Newswire / June 18, 2025 / In a world increasingly dependent on digital access - where aging populations are growing alongside rising cyber threats - Evrima Chicago has positioned itself as a vanguard. Its mission is clear: protect, empower, and elevate older adults and ultra-visible individuals navigating a chaotic digital landscape. Whether it's defending a Nobel Peace Prize laureate from impersonation scams, equipping a forensic psychiatrist with secure communications, or ensuring a Pentagon official's reputation remains intact through a hostile media cycle - Evrima operates at the cutting edge of accessibility, cybersecurity, and elite reputation management. The Gray Net: Where Aging Meets Digital Vulnerability By 2050, the global senior population is projected to exceed 2 billion, and the so-called "silver economy" is expected to grow beyond $15 trillion. Despite this staggering market, mainstream tech and cybersecurity firms still under-serve older adults. That's where Evrima Chicago steps in. Based in Naperville, Illinois, this firm isn't just building tools - it's designing dignity. With assistive technology spanning screen readers, voice-command systems, and immersive virtual reality experiences, Evrima ensures digital inclusion for seniors and individuals with special needs. Accessibility - or A11y - isn't a feature. It's their foundation. When Cybercrime Crosses Generational Lines Older adults lost more than $3.4 billion to cybercrime in 2023, with the most at-risk individuals including not just everyday retirees - but aging professionals such as lawyers, doctors, and former intelligence officers. These individuals require a new kind of protection: stealth-class cyber defense. Evrima combats these threats with military-grade protocols, behavioral threat modeling, and deep reputational shielding. These tools protect not only sensitive data but entire digital identities - ensuring clients maintain control over their legacy, their public image, and their Google footprint. Digital Armor for the Ultra-Visible High-profile individuals don't just need public relations - they need precision digital control. One deepfake, misquote, or misinformation campaign can derail a lifetime of credibility. Evrima Chicago offers "reputation sovereignty" by managing Knowledge Panels, Wikipedia entries, and search visibility - well before crises emerge. Whether it's a bestselling author, a reclusive investor, or a national figure preparing for confirmation hearings, Evrima's team ensures the digital battlefield is secured in advance. Journalism Without Strings: The Evrima Newsroom Model Unlike most PR firms, Evrima Chicago operates a bias-free, ad-free newsroom. This editorial independence ensures that clients are featured in credible, citation-ready content - no pay-to-play gimmicks, no vanity press. Their publishing model delivers real authority. With data-backed storytelling and syndication-ready releases, policy influencers and public figures can shape their digital narrative proactively, not reactively. The Evrima Ethos: Serve the Person, Secure the Legacy Evrima Chicago isn't just building technology - it's building trust in an era where both are in short supply. From octogenarian activists to billionaires in the twilight of their careers, the firm delivers services designed for an aging digital elite. This is not public relations as is cyber is reputation is the future of digital dignity. Glossary Assistive Technology (AT): Tools that help individuals with disabilities or age-related limitations live independently - such as screen readers, VR mobility simulations, and adaptive input devices. A11y: A numeronym for "accessibility" (A + 11 letters + Y), emphasizing inclusive design for users of all ages and abilities. UHNW: Ultra-high-net-worth individuals with over $30 million in assets, who frequently face heightened cybersecurity and reputational risks. At Evrima Chicago, the mission is simple but essential: "A safer, more inclusive digital world - one elder, one executive, one encrypted connection at a time." Who is Waa Say? Waa Say is the caffeinated compass of the Evrima Chicago newsroom - its Editor-in-Chief, chief mischief-maker, and occasional fire extinguisher when headlines get too hot to handle. With a pen sharper than a Senate filibuster and a filing cabinet full of Post-it provocations, Waa Say doesn't just write stories - he orchestrates editorial ambushes on mediocrity. Working closely with Chicago Bureau Chief Mr. Ovais Riaz, he steers coverage with a blend of literary flair and old-school newsroom grit. In an America where politics feels like reality TV with fewer writers and worse wardrobe choices, Waa Say finds clarity in chaos. He's the guy who'll quote both Baldwin and Bugs Bunny before a deadline, reminding readers that truth needs teeth-and sometimes a punchline.
