“Ignorance of each other is what has made unity impossible in the past”.—Malcolm X

There’s something so magical about seeing and hearing an author read their own book to a group! When people hear first-hand from an author, it encourages and inspires them to write and share their own stories. Akilah Newton, Author of the popular book series “Big Dreamers: The Canadian Black History Activity Book for Kids” and “Movers, Shakers, History Makers: The Canadian Black History Book of Rhymes”, wants to share her love of storytelling with your community! She is thrilled to offer virtual “Meet the Author” sessions where she’ll share her story, read excerpts from her book(s), and answer questions.
