Deidra Mayberry

We have a treat for you on this episode of Leading Literacy. We interview Deidra Mayberry, president, and founder of Reading to New Heights, a nonprofit that teaches adults how to read. Deidra grew up one of seven kids, in a military family, who often moved. Her struggles with reading began early and persisted throughout her education.  Listen as Deidra shares her journey to learn to read and how she both masked and compensated for her lack of reading skills and the toll this took on her both emotionally and physically.  You won't want to miss her inspirational story and how she's now changing lives through the gifts of literacy and joy.  Enjoy!
