1000 Backers = 1000 books!
Imagine This…
Imagine the impact of placing 1,000 copies of my book into schools and institutions filled with young Black children. The truth of our history, unfiltered, contained in this book could ignite a fire with the potential to impact a generation.
That’s exactly what I’ll be doing once we reach 1,000 backers.
When that milestone is hit, I will reserve 1,000 copies for FREE distribution to non-profits, schools, libraries, and institutions recommended by you—my community. My backers.
We Can Absolutely Get There — But I’ll Need Your Help
I believe in this campaign with everything I’ve got. And I believe we can hit the 1,000 backer milestone together.
We’re not quite there yet, but momentum can build fast—and with a few more hands joining in, we’ll make it happen. I want to give back as much as possible along the way, and not just at the finish line.
In fact, my Stretch Goals Roadmap outlines how I’ll be donating large batches of books as we pass key milestones—but the BIG one is 1,000 backers.
