The Mighty Pen Center for Literacy & Research Inc. is dedicated to informing and improving the intellectual standing of all age groups. We achieve this by providing educational programs that are designed to improve writing, reading, and comprehension skills. We also provide books as well as cd's that will improve the intellectual standing of our students. If anyone cannot afford our services or products for charge, they can always view our research videos free of charge 24 hours a day. Our SCHOLAR'S ACADEMY also has a link to an information and entertainment channel. MPC is an international center that is attempting to turn the tide of ignorance toward intellectual excellence.

Let us get the creditial portion of this out of the way. I am currently studying Mental Health at Touro College. I have a BA in English from the University of South Carolina. I have an A.A.S. in Journalism from Kingsborough Community College where I studied under John Manbeck The Brooklyn Historian. I decided to create this center to serve 2 purposes. One thing I want is to have an affordable place where public school students could receive the tutoring necessary to help them navigate through the system here in New York City. The other thing that I want to do is to create a place where local scholars could gather and add to their knowledge without having to travel to the main libraries outside of their community. I spoke to my wife about it and she agreed to co- found the center with me. I then began to put this idea into practice. Now as it stands we are still searching for a physical center, but I can provide students with a virtual center now. I cannot do any hands on work with students. On the up side though, now I can provide information for free. I hope that my small contribution can beat back the beast of ignorance that ravages us all.

With a Master's Degree in Public Administration from Long Island University, Brooklyn Campus, it is my obligation to assist in the fight to pursue the public good by finding ways to enhance civil society and social justice. I also hold a BS in Biology from Virginia Union University and currently serve as the chairperson for Recruitment and Scholarship with the New York Alumni Chapter. I agreed to co-find the Mighty Pen Center along with my husband because the policy that currently governs education in this country continues to fail our youth. It is our obligation to help young people navigate through the public education system and facilitate realization of self potential. Establishment of the Mighty Pen Center is just our small contribution to influence a child's development. Learning also occurs outside of the institution we call school, so let us begin to do our part.
