Be A Mentor, a non-profit children's advocacy organization, and best-selling author Chris Singleton, today announced a free book signing event to debut Singleton's latest book Your Life Matters. The event will be held this Thursday, April 1st, at the Saint Julien Devine Center located at 1 Cooper Street. The event is from 5:30 pm until 7 pm.
The event is sponsored by David Aylor Law Offices and Bera Wealth Advisors which purchased 50 books to give away to attendees. Singleton will be signing copies of his new book Your Life Matters – an empowering book geared towards Black Youth. The event is open to the public. Be A Mentor will be providing free pizza and refreshments, games, and activities for attendees.
Empowering and validating, Your Life Matters reassures Black children everywhere that no matter what they hear, no matter what they experience, no matter what they’re told, their lives matter. Written by national speaker Chris Singleton, who lost his own mother in the 2015 Charleston church shooting, Your Life Matters teaches kids to stand tall in the face of racial adversity and fight for the life they dream of. Each page depicts a famous hero from Black history mentoring a child of today and encouraging them to use their mind, heart, voice, and hands in that fight. Hero-mentors in the book include Maya Angelou, Jackie Robinson, Martin Luther King, Jr., Aretha Franklin, Katherine Johnson, Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglas, Mary McLeod Bethune, George Washington Carver, and others.
