How This Self-Published Author Is Promoting Literacy Through the “Beauty and Brains Challenge”

Darius Slaughter, who is the author of an Amazon best-seller “Hostile: An Urban Tragedy”, has launched the Beauty and Brains challenge on Instagram and Facebook. In this ongoing challenge, he will be aiming specifically at the female side and iterate the fact that many people in America cannot read. As part of the challenge, he will have the participants read out oud, post, and tag him. He will send out promo gear to everyone who participates, posts, and tags.

Over 30 million Americans cannot read or write past a third-grade level. According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, children whose parents have low literacy levels have a 72 percent chance of being at the lowest reading levels themselves. They have an increased chance of getting poor grades, missing school, repeat their grade levels, or even drop out. Darius wants to help change this by promoting literacy.

Hostile: An Urban Tragedy is the true account of his internal struggles, triumphs, failure, and pain echoed in the ultimate way as he played the “game of life.” Money, power, and respect were at the forefront as he struggled to exist between the line society designated as legal and his more lucrative, yet high-risk illegal actions. He hopes that his experiences, tragedies, and losses will help to open the eyes of those who take this journey with him and deter them from unsavory life choices.
