Virtual Book Launch: Unscripted Leadership

Written By Aisha Christa Atkinson

Leadership is ineffective if it fails to inspire and advance the next wave of leaders to persist and achieve even greater success. My hope is to be a leader who gives that to students, educators, and communities.

I’m proud of myself for volunteering my time to the gift that is ‘Unscripted Leadership: Stories of Adaptability, Courage, and Impact.’ An abundance of appreciation goes to Claubentz Dieujuste for his visionary leadership as well as to Mac Media & Publishing for putting together such a powerful publication. May this anthology inspire and empower the future.
