My Inaugural Book Event
What a wonderful day it was yesterday and such hospitable hosts for the first book event on my book tour! The students, administration and staff at Greens Farms Academy, a private day school in Westport, CT exceeded my expectations as they welcomed me to their campus.
The day began with a student assembly for the school’s Martin Luther King celebration. With a mixture of instrumental music, group songs, solos and recitations, my keynote speech, “Reflecting on the Values of Dr. King” was considered a central part of the celebration. The one-hour event was quite impressive. The students, particularly those from the lower school, responded well to my presentation. For more exposure for me and the students, I then met with 5th graders who were full of questions. The questioning had to be brought to an end in order for me to go to my destination – lunch with LEAD students, a group that works for and advocates diversity.
After a scrumptious dinner at Martel’s in Fairfield, CT, I returned to the school for a discussion and book signing. Attendance was excellent. I was pleasantly surprised to see many Harvard Business School graduates there as well as a classmate from my Howard University days, who was a student in the Department of Business where I was also a student.
My trip ended the next day after a taped interview with Gwen Edwards on News 12 CT for her OUR LIVES show which will air the weekend of January 23.
It was a great way to start my book tour.

Great post full of useful tips! My site is fairly new and I am also having a hard time getting my readers to leave comments. Analytics shows they are coming to the site but I have a feeling “nobody wants to be first”.
