About the facilitator:
Kareem Hayes, an accomplished independent author widely recognized for his gritty urban stories, embarked on a new literary journey during the pandemic. His inspiration came from homeschooling his son, King-Kelani. This unique experience led to the development of their own teaching approach, with King playing a pivotal role in teaching his father how to educate. Their collaboration has resulted in this book, marking the beginning of a series of exciting literary endeavors.
