Greetings, I’m JD!
I didn’t just arrive in Houston because the children were struggling. I could feel the weight on the teachers who are giving everything they have with too little support. I could feel the frustration of families who want the best for their kids but keep running into barriers they didn’t create. The pressure on this city’s classrooms was so strong it reached me across galaxies.
My strength grows every time a young person reads, learns, or unlocks a new idea. That energy is powerful, and I am here to protect it. When I found the Edutainers already fighting for students, teachers, and families, I knew this was where my mission had to begin.
Houston is ready for something different. A shift in how we treat knowledge. A movement that turns reading into a source of power and gives every child, every educator, and every family a reason to believe again.
This is only the beginning. If this is where the story starts, imagine what comes next.
