About Caron Asgarali
A chemistry teacher who crafts compelling stories, a runner who challenges herself, and a self-published author writing for peace, Caron Asgarali is a true inspiration. As an author, motivational speaker, book developer, and educator, she uses her voice and experiences to uplift others. A survivor of gun violence, Caron is also the founder of Project RARE, a nonprofit dedicated to advocating for peace...
…After surviving an attempted robbery in 2013, Caron turned her pain into purpose by writing her memoir, From Lion to Lamb (soon to be retitled Bulletproofed Faith). Her follow-up book, Bounce Back Better, empowers readers to overcome adversity. In 2020, she launched the Hot Cocoa on a Rainy Day series—an anthology of true, inspirational stories, with the third book set for release in 2024.
