As a life long educator, literacy is near and dear to my heart and my love for the city of Detroit is right there as well‼️
🚨According to a report released by the Detroit Regional Workforce Fund, more than 200,000 Detroit residents — 47 percent of Motor City adults — are "functionally illiterate”. That means they can't fill out basic forms, read a prescription, or handle other tasks most Americans take for granted.
🚨Not only is this alarming, it’s quite heartbreaking. Could you imagine being an adult, people assuming you know how to read efficiently, and you’re barely getting by? No one should have to experience that. After all, we live in the greatest country in the world, right!? HA!
🚨Many factors contribute to this, but it all goes back to those of us in underserved communities always getting the short end of the stick.
🚨Let’s work together to improve the quality of life for all of us. It might be corny to some, but I truly believe in each one teach one. Swipe to see what you can do to help!
I love us, for real! ❤️
