Author and Behavior Intervention Specialist Je'Quita Zachary came through to serve notice to the world. In her debut book, "I Am Pretty," Author Je'Quita shares her story with us on how she works with students, mostly girls, to help them build stronger social and emotional learning skills to prepare them for success in school, home, and life. 

"As I worked with my students, especially girls, I noticed many of them were very mean with the other girls. Most had a low self-perception and thought that if they would put others down, they could bring themselves up. I decided to write a book for girls that will promote self-love and the understanding that true` “prettiness” comes from the inside." -Author Je'Quita Zachary

Today on the BYOB Podcast, I’ll be reading a paper that I wrote in November 2014 which details how standardized tests have impacted the African American Community. The heated discussion over requiring students to pass standardized tests has been up for debate for decades. On one hand, many people believe that standardized tests are an advancement to the next level of education. Proponents like myself argue that standardized tests are widening the academic achievement gap for African Americans.

Dear Rowland & Gavin-Keith is the story of Amber Basares, a woman's rights activist, searching for her identity and belonging throughout a life of divorce, custody battles, abuse, and bipolar disorder in the military. Upon losing custody of her sons, Amber details her struggles with hope, survival, and determination to flourish despite the struggles presented by her estranged custody battle.

Amber's memoir offers a rare glimpse of her monumental milestones, her triumphs, and her struggles to navigate through life without Rowland and Gavin-Keith. Amber hopes that every life she touches will be encouraged to find strength in her weaknesses. Join Amber on this journey, and learn how Amber walked the path of peace during this raging storm.

Amber is a nine-year Marine Veteran, with a heart that drives her to pursue change. As an activist within the community of Lima, Ohio. She is driven by women’s rights, minority injustices, and advocating for children. Amber Basares, the author of Dear Rowland and Gavin-Keith, uses her experience with divorce and fighting for parental rights to drive her activism for women’s rights. After losing custody of Rowland and Gavin-Keith in March of 2015, Amber vowed to be a better person for her kids. Amber refused to allow a temporary situation to define who she is or the direction in which her life will go. Although she no longer has primary custody of Rowland and Gavin Keith, Amber uses her relationship with her children as the fuel to her fire.

One Mother, One Mission

A Note From The Author

"Dear Rowland and Gavin-Keith offers a rare glimpse of my monumental milestones, my triumphs, and my struggles to navigate through life without Rowland and Gavin-Keith. I hope that every life I touch, will be encouraged to find strength in all of my weaknesses. Join me on this journey, and learn how I walked the path of peace during this raging storm."

The black author expo has been moved to a virtual location to reach more viewers! I am inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting for our Virtual Black Authors Book Expo, and I look forward to connecting with you. This will work much better for us all. Thank you to those who were willingly going to travel from

Ohio
Alabama
Florida
and more to little ol' Douglas.

Why I chose to go virtual:
When I thought about how far Douglas, GA is from the area that Kendrick Johnson was murdered, I discovered that it's better to go online anyway. I thought of all the unresolved murders and the way that I stood on the corner with the confederate flag, or how I would walk to class in Georgia across from the KKK! 

So here's to making reading cool again all around the world!
