Support Self Published Authors

The Issue

Freedom of press defines us as a nation.  Today, many people are sharing their stories outside the box of traditional publishing.  First time writers and established authors alike are putting out their own material.  Help individuals that are not offered the support of large budgets and buy a self published book in 2009.

One of my main goals is to find a way for young people of African descent to have an African language such as Swahili available in public schools nation wide thus promoting multilingualism and African culture in an otherwise euro-centric educational landscape.
