Dondré Whitfield Instagram – As an author, who happens to be Black, I can tell you that writing a book is not an easy task. Because the challenges don’t just come in the form of rendering of your thoughts and feelings that you wish to project. But often you will also have to overcome the stereotypes and discouraging narratives that you receive along the way. I had my own very own teachers, that didn’t look like me, insisting that I was not a good writer all by the tender stage of the 4th grade.
So it is my honor to present to you a book and an author who will inspire many that look like us. Not just to read but to create works that others will read as well.
My daughter @parker.whitfield attends @spelman_college and her friend and @morehouse1867 brother has written a children’s book called BORN DRIVEN. Based on the true story of the first African American NASCAR champion Wendell Scott, Born Driven is an uplifting tale celebrating the power of persistence and big dreams. It’s one of my favorite stories about our people’s accomplishments in American history. And its author is Saxton Moore, Jr @_sax10_
It hits the shelves and sites TODAY. (Barnes & Noble, Amazon, etc) Please order this book for a child you wish to inspire to dream and to counter the negative narratives that they have probably already been fed.
I couldn’t be more proud of this book and of Saxton. And you should be too!!! Go out and get it now…. | Posted on 29/Nov/2023 05:16:30
