"Read to Achieve (R2A): Closing The Achievement Gap Book by Book

The beginning of June, I will take part in the Read to Achieve event for the second time.

Last year, I had the opportunity of reading my co-authored book All in Together Girls to a group of 4th and 5th graders. I absolutely loved the event. I met some very young and gifted students, who drew pictures of what I read in the book.  

I am delighted I was asked to return this year. I am looking forward to reading to 80-90 students, taking pictures, and letting them illustrate information I read in the book.

9th Annual Next Level Conference

On Monday, May 1, 2017 I was given the opportunity to attend the 9th Annual Next Level Conference developed by Institute for Entrepreneurial Leadership (IFEL). I was able to attend the conference due to the generosity of Newark Arts Council. This was an opportunity of a life time because of influential people like Melinda Emerson (Small Biz Lady), Twyla Garrett, Darryl Bumpass Sr., Dawn W. Brolin, and many more. I also met professional business women who had businesses dealing with fragrances, legos, laundry, schools, real estate and more. I was ecstatic to see Joy Lindsay, CEO of Butterfly Dreamz, who I met about a year ago through a Children's Festival I implemented with another company. There were a lot of goal-driven individuals in the audience ready to give and receive knowledge.

By the end of the event, I had made at least 11 new contacts, four of which were the speakers from the event. I was so charged and ready to increase my contacts and revenue stream. From all the tweeting, facebooking, and instragraming, I was truly surprised today. Today, I viewed Mr. Bumpass Sr's Instagram page where he had reposted a pic of myself and the new business-minded women I met at the event. I am truly appreciative and thankful for opportunities like these.

Yonkers Specialist Needs Fair

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending The Yonkers Special Needs Fair, which was developed by The Autism Project, FLOS. It was truly an amazing event and should have been attended by every special needs professional, family member, support system, individuals with special needs, and just the whole community. The event was very well put together from the assigned tables, interviews, and food provided to the attendees. I made new connections, met New York State Assemblywoman Shelley Mayer, and sold a few books. Definitely an event to attend next year.

Feel free to check out pics below regarding the event:
