The literacy crisis is real but so is the solution.

We've all seen it happen. Our kids graduate from picture books, and suddenly... the reading stops. The screens win. The stories get lost.

But here's what we've learned: They never outgrow the story. They just need a better way to access it.

That's why we created family reading guides that bridges the gap between "learning to read" and "loving to read."

Here's what that looks like:
📚 Great books that actually spark something
💬 Great questions that go beyond "what happened?"
🗣️ Real conversations that bring stories to life
❤️ Deeper characters. Richer stories. Stronger connections.

You don't need a degree in literature. You don't need hours of free time. You just need 20 minutes and the right questions.

Fight the literacy crisis 20 minutes at a time.

No screens. Just connection.

The kitchen is calling. 🍎✨

Mama Ama here, and I need you to hear me clearly:

This fall, we're doing something different. Something revolutionary.

Sound Bites with Mama Ama starts September 17th, and we're taking learning straight to the heart of the house—the kitchen.

Here's the best part, Mama. Here's the best part, Baba:
✅ Minimal prep for you. Your scholar does the work.
✅ They make their own snacks. Hands-on learning builds confidence.
✅ I guide them through every step. You don't have to teach a thing.
✅ We end with a story I created just for them. Connection. Imagination. Joy.

Your child will leave every class with:
🔊 Stronger phonics and spelling skills
🍎 Real kitchen confidence
📖 A deeper love for language
✨ Pride in what they can do

The Details
📍 Live, Virtual Class
📅 Thursdays • September 17 – December 17 (13 Live Classes)

Your child will enjoy this.

Curriculum literally means "to run a race." 🏃🏾‍♂️💨

So here's how we line up at Ọmọ́wálé Speaks:
📘 Grammar = GET READY
✍🏾 Writing = GET SET
📖 Poetry = GO.

Our scholars are off the blocks, and they're not looking back.

Omowale Speaks. Let's go. 🏁🔥

A grammar book shouldn’t just be a stack of worksheets—it should be a ladder. 🪜 I built this curriculum with a "low floor, high ceiling" approach because I know my scholars come from different backgrounds. Whether you’re filling gaps or building a foundation, this book meets you where you are and takes you further. 📚✨

Why is your middle schooler’s ELA grade sinking, no matter how hard they “try”?

It’s not an effort problem. It’s a design flaw. 🧵

In math, topics are separate doors. A struggle with fractions doesn’t lock you out of geometry. Clean slate.

But ELA? It’s a funnel. Every weakness—decoding, spelling, vocabulary—gets shoved into one high-stakes moment: The Essay. All at once. No hiding.

Malcolm X understood this decades ago. His radical solution? Copying the dictionary by hand. He knew that if you don’t rebuild the foundation, the house will always crack under pressure. 🖊️📖

That’s the blueprint for Omawale Speaks.

A Black intellectual bootcamp rooted in rigor and reconstruction.
Three terms. Grammar. Writing. Poetry.
Not a band-aid for the bottleneck.
A dismantling.
Your child’s confidence shouldn’t be the cost of a broken system.

Ready to rebuild that foundation? Drop “FOUNDATION” in the comments for more info.
And share this to a parent who needs the reminder: it’s the system, not their kid. 🤎

Malcolm X didn't wait for permission to master English. He built it, brick by brick. 🧱

That’s the blueprint for Omowale Speaks: A year-long ELA journey for grades 6–8.

📚 Three seasons (Fall, Winter, Spring)
✍🏾 Grammar. Writing. Poetry.
📝 Application required. No essay. No audition. No tests.

Just rigorous study, small cohorts, and a deep dive into the intellectual tradition of the man who became "the one who molds."

Seats are limited. Are you ready?
