Kim Kardashian, a notorious business owner, television personality, and most importantly, a mother, took a moment to offer a heartfelt message to her 306 million Instagram followers regarding her daughter, North West, and supporting children with “learning differences.”
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star reshared a video of Lauren Sánchez, her close friend and fiancé of Jeff Bezos, of her appearance on The View, which aired on Friday, September 13, where she touted her children’s book, The Fly Who Flew to Space, and mentioned her own struggles with dyslexia as a child.

In the interview, Sanchez revealed, “I realized after I wrote the story, I was like, this is about my son, who has dyslexia. I get teared up every time I talk about this, so I’m sorry. But it’s really me— I grew up dyslexic, not knowing I had it. I couldn’t read. I was a sweet little girl, and I sat in the back of the class, and they kind of just pushed me along.”

In the September 13 post, Kardashian, 43, shared text alongside the video of her pal that read, “I’m reposting this not bc 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.”

West first revealed her diagnosis in a September 2023 TikTok video, where she sat beside her mother and confessed, “Guys, I have dyslexia…Do you even know what that is?”
The SKIMS owner, in the same video, did not hesitate to chime in after the epic announcement, nothing, “Northy, you are sure spilling the tea on here.”
After a pause, Kardashian continued, “I’m going to stop this live right now because you just really are saying way too much. I love you [but] I purposefully do not talk about stuff that you’re going through.”
