The 30-day black people reading challenge.

In collaboration with Pepukayi Books, we are inviting you to join this fun and healthy mind challenge.

Whether you are aged 1 to 101 then this is an event for you. More so if you don't already read books regularly. Most of us have books in our homes that we have never read.

This challenge and invitation is to pick between one to seven of these books and to read just one page a day for 30 days.

That right just one page a day for 30 days.

Reading first thing in the morning is suggested.
