The reality TV star shared her thoughts on Instagram, reposting a clip of her friend Lauren Sánchez’s appearance on *The View*, where Sánchez discussed her children's book and her own experiences growing up with dyslexia. Alongside the post, Kim wrote, "I'm reposting this not because she's my friend and I love her, but because every mom who has struggled with their kids with dyslexia or any learning difference needs to hear that it will be okay."
North first revealed her diagnosis during a TikTok livestream last year, casually announcing, "Guys, I have dyslexia. Do you even know what that is?" Kim, however, was quick to intervene, gently advising North to end the livestream, saying, "Northie, you sure are spilling the tea on here... I purposely don't talk about stuff that you are going through." Despite the moment of spontaneity from North, it highlighted the family's ongoing journey with learning differences and the challenges they face. In her post, Kim emphasized that she understands the struggles many parents face when raising children with learning differences, offering a message of reassurance that "it will be okay."

Her openness about the issue has resonated with many, helping to normalize conversations around dyslexia and other learning challenges. Beyond her dyslexia diagnosis, North West is already showing her ambition and entrepreneurial spirit, inspired by her parents. The young girl, whose father is rapper Kanye West, has expressed her desire to take over the family businesses one day, specifically eyeing her parents' brands, Yeezy and Skims. In an interview with *i-D* magazine last year, North shared, "One day I want to own Yeezy and Skims, and I want to be a business owner." However, in the meantime, she dreams of earning some pocket money by walking dogs to pay for her art supplies.
