Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My students are aspiring writers with interest in reading. Education is changing every single day, and so are the interests of my students. Students in my classroom like to discuss current books they are reading and currently love the genre of Paranormal Fantasy. My school doesn't have a media center or library with a large collection of books. I want to create a library for our students to explore different authors and see varied perspectives.

Avid writers & readers will often feel stifled and unable to express themselves.

They choose me as their mentor because I love reading and am also a self published author. I encourage them to feel creative freedom and help them develop their skills.
