Just gonna drop an update from yesterday. Came back from Eagle academy All black school in Harlem I felt kinda proud.
I talked to the director and he explained why he opened the school and I told him my purpose in life was to reach many readers of color black or otherwise to get them to read. I told him growing up we didn't have many black heroes and characters we could relate to I'm trying to change that... So I pitched him the book and he loved it. He ordered 25... and in further discussion he said there was another school that could use novels too, so walked 2 blocks down went to the thurgood marshall academy talked to the director there and she said we have grade school and high school kids. she heard the pitch and loved it too... So I offered to donate books and she said give me 50... I was like
I express ordered those shyts next day...
My moms complaining because i came outta pocket but I'm like I need to create a buzz for the series. I cannot just outright have a major corporation stunt on my behalf. so it's gonna cost to get your name out there, advertising aint cheap and it's not free.
Anyways I can always use it as a tax writeoff come tax time...
Anyways that's 75 books all donated to black kids in harlem and I'm feeling a sense of accomplishment...
I'm gonna try to find more schools in the future if this goes well...
