Darius Slaughter, who is the author of an Amazon best-seller “Hostile: An Urban Tragedy”, is set to do a Beauty and Brains challenge on Instagram and Facebook. In this ongoing challenge, he will be aiming specifically at the female side and iterate the fact that many people in America cannot read. As part of the challenge, he will have the participants read out oud, post, and tag him. He will send out promo gear to everyone who participates, posts, and tags.
Over 30 million Americans cannot read or write past a third-grade level. According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, children whose parents have low literacy levels have a 72 percent chance of being at the lowest reading levels themselves. They have an increased chance of getting poor grades, missing school, repeat their grade levels, or even drop out. Darius wants to help change this by promoting literacy.
