Barbara Richter on Literacy

STAND with Kelly and Niki Tshibaka

When the pages of a book flutter open, a world of possibilities awakens – that's the conviction held by our esteemed guest Barbara Richter, a beacon of literacy, storytelling, and enterprise. In a heart-to-heart that traverses the roots of reading to the branches of authorship, Barbara dissects the literacy crisis gripping America's youth, spotlighting how the freedom to read is the freedom to grow. Her passionate advocacy for cultivating a reader's spark in every home is as much an invitation as it is a call to arms in fostering informed communities and thriving democracies.
Our conversation takes a fascinating turn as we peel back the curtain on the evolution from educator to entrepreneur. Barbara, with her ghostwriting prowess, guides us through the labyrinth of bringing untold stories to light, demystifying the writing process with her innovative platform, diybookus. The episode crescendos as my son, Josiah, and I invite our listeners into a candid dialogue about the continuance of these crucial conversations. The art of storytelling is not just a craft but a legacy we all share – join us as we celebrate the written word and empower the voices waiting to be heard.
