Behind them are shelves filled with various books and labeled bins.

“For young students in America, 3rd grade reading is a crucial mile marker. Students who are reading on grade level at that junction have an 89% chance of high school graduation and career success, regardless of household income level. Because literacy changes everything,

At an early age, reading became a huge confidence booster for me. This led to me being able to face, manage, and overcome challenges better. As an Impact Player, I want to help others find their inner confidence by utilizing the power of literacy so they too can bravely face and overcome many of life’s challenges to ultimately become better versions of themselves.

We know every kid is capable. They simply need access and opportunity. This is where you come in! Read below to JOIN ME in making an impact on literacy here in Memphis.”
