Two Leaders Who Are Readers
Best-selling author, motivational speaker, and “grown folks” radio talk show host, Mr. Michael Baisden, frequently shares the fact that reading and writing books created a paradigm shift that literally changed his life forever.
I’m one of the many literacy advocates and activists who agrees with Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu’s honest belief that “readers are leaders” and “learners are earners.”
“Illiteracy will hold the blindfold that blinds the great minds of today and allows Ignorance to kill, steal, and destroy the opportunities tomorrow brings.”
–Steppin’ Out Of The Darkness
Imagine how difficult life would be today if you couldn’t read. What book(s) did you read as a child that inspired you to raise the level of your thinking? How many books have you finished reading this year?
“Leaders Are Readers,” by Ms. Thea Westra, is a blog that I inadvertently failed to mention when I initially published this post.
