📚✨ Something new is beginning in Overtown!

This Wednesday, we launch Overtown Reads, a community-wide effort to build a culture of reading that starts from birth and lasts a lifetime.

This first strategy session will bring together community leaders, partners, and parents to align on powerful ways to:

✔️ Empower families with tools for early literacy
✔️ Spark a love of reading from the very beginning
✔️ Give our youngest learners every opportunity to thrive

Because Overtown’s children deserve access, opportunity, and a future built on knowledge. Together, we can reverse the trend of low literacy and create lasting change.

📅 Wednesday, August 27
⏰ 5–7 PM
📍 Converge Miami | 1951 NW 7th Ave

Let’s build this culture of reading—together. 💛
