Welcome to Season 2 of Reading is a Human Right! 📚✊

In this powerful season opener, host Leta Palmiter shares the honest truth behind becoming a leader—not for glory, but out of necessity. From therapy rooms to boardrooms, from bedtime stories to policy meetings, Leta reveals what it really takes to fight for literacy access and lead a movement when no one else will.

✨ This season is all about tools, not just talk. Whether you're a teacher, parent, therapist, school leader, or simply mad enough to fix what's broken—this podcast is your toolkit for change.

🎧 In this episode:

  • Why Leta never wanted to be CEO—but became one anyway
  • How anger can be a spark for impact
  • What it really takes to build systems that work for all learners
  • A call to action for women leaders in education and advocacy
  • Upcoming plans to read Mississippi Rising chapter-by-chapter

💥 Get ready for real talk, real strategies, and real hope. Because reading is not a luxury—it’s a human right.
