Some of our books are meant to transform your classroom, some of them are meant to have an equal or greater impact on you...and then, some are meant to transform the world. Empower Our Girls: Opening the Door for Girls to Achieve More, by Lynmara Colón and Adam Welcome, falls into that latter category. This is such a critical message and at such a critical time that we couldn't be prouder to bring this book to the world. 

You will be completely inspired to move mountains after reading how Lynn moved from humble beginnings and the stereotypical expectations placed upon her to earn two master's degrees (soon a doctorate!) and become a successful educational leader powerfully impacting the lives of students in a district serving over 90,000 students, from 124 countries, and speaking 149 different languages. Her journey from being born and raised in Puerto Rico to elementary school principal...and now district leader and best-selling author is, as she puts it, her American Dream. She is an ideal messenger for how and why it is so critical to Empower Our Girls.

Lynn's co-author, is none other than Kids Deserve It co-author and Run Like a PIRATE author, Adam Welcome. Adam brings the unique perspective of educator, strong advocate for women empowerment, husband, and father of a young girl to this project. This is not a woman's issue; this is a human issue and we need all hands on deck to tackle it.

I also love how Lynmara and Adam have lifted the voices of others and contributions from numerous women and men have significantly strengthened the project.

I am also extremely proud to tell you that my wife and co-owner of Dave Burgess Consulting, Inc., Shelley Burgess, has contributed a wonderful and moving foreword to the book. In fact, I want to be sure you get a chance to read it so I am including this foreword on my blog.
