The Othniel Project, a story of hope and reformation - leadership design integrating literacy with the Bible as a mentor text.

Brenda Davis, Ph.D., MSEd., MAEd 

Leadership Design Consultant and Researcher

My continuing research involves recruiting social researchers to lead constructive social change. While inspiration can be fleeting, I remain inspired to do the work of Leadership, Literacy, and Families. The Othniel Project, a story of hope and reformation, initially targets 160,000 children reading below grade level in families in Baltimore City and Prince George's County School districts;  plus LA districts. I believe literacy is deliverance with the Bible as the mentor text.
