Happy birthday to noted spelling bee champion John Legend! 🎤 Long before he became a famous singer and songwriter, he won the Springfield District Spelling Bee in 1989 when he was just 10 years old and living in Ohio. 🐝 He was homeschooled, and this is a photo of him studying with his mom Phyllis. In fact, he was so smart he skipped two grades and enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania at age 16. A true Legend!

Malawi 2022 was more than a competition—it was a continental classroom where Ethiopian students demonstrated confidence, discipline, cultural pride, and academic excellence on an African stage.

A full-circle moment worth celebrating.

Back in 2010, through the Tutoring and Mentoring Program (TMP), my friends and I had the privilege of tutoring and mentoring Ethiopian-American students—Grades 1 through 12—every week at DSKM Mariam Church in Washington, DC. As part of nurturing a culture of reading and lifelong learning, we invited Dinaw Mengistu, who was then teaching at Georgetown University, to speak with our students about books, education, and the power of reading.

Today, he steps into an even larger role—as the new President of PEN America.

Congratulations, Dinaw Mengistu. Your journey is a powerful reminder that investing in young minds, stories, and education creates ripples that last for generations. 📚✨

The Price of Hard Work

I had the privilege of knowing Zaila Avant-garde and learning a great deal about discipline, commitment, and dedication in the pursuit of one’s dreams and goals. These numbers may surprise you, but they are true—Zaila studied 13,000 words per day leading up to her victory at the 2021 Scripps National Spelling Bee. That level of focus takes tremendous courage and determination.

I believe we can inspire our students to learn a thing or two from this remarkable young lady.
