On this episode, I Zoom in J Elle and we chat about her book, Wings of Ebony and how educators can become published author. J.Elle, is an African-American writer and active advocate for marginalized voices in both publishing and her community, and mentors teens on the craft of writing and the importance of sharing stories from their perspective.J.Elle's most recent novel, Wings of Ebony, was pitched in #DVPit, an online contest that showcases stories from marginalized voices to publishing professionals. Her pitch received 200+ likes and retweets as well as, submission requests from multiple literary agents and 10+ editors at large publishing houses, indicating her story resonated with the market. Jess queried and eagerly accepted literary representation by Natalie Lakosil, veteran YA fantasy agent with Bradford Literary Agency.Wings of Ebony is book one in a young adult fantasy duology about a black teen from a 1- parent home in a drug-infested neighborhood that learns she’s half human, half-goddess. When she discovers racist gods flooding her block with violence and crime, she must tap into her Ghazani-god heritage to unlock magic to destroy them.J. Elle wrote this story because of a “lack of black heroines from urban settings in YA fantasy.” She said, “I want kids from where I grew up to see their lives and issues they face in the fantasy section of the bookstore.”Wings of Ebony was pitched as The Hate U Give meets Wonder Woman with a heavy dash of fantasy. For details on when and where Wings of Ebony will be published, please subscribe to her ‘Be Notified’ email list.J. Elle's passion for empowering youth transcends her writing. She spent time mentoring students from low socioeconomic statuses to elevate their voices as a middle school creative writing teacher with KIPP. She also busies her time between writing by supporting fellow aspiring writers of color with complimentary manuscript critiques and mentorship through the querying process.J. Elle has a Bachelors in Journalism and a Masters in Educational Administration with an emphasis on curriculum development. Both influence her writing process, as well as shape her approach to mentoring future generations of writers. J. Elle is from Houston, Texas and loves southern food as much as she loves her 3 children. Transplanted to the west coast, she owns and operates a wedding photography business and online photography learning institute where she teaches creative entrepreneurs how to brand and market their businesses. Fun fact--J. Elle recently won a Barnes & Noble Story & Recipe contest. The story and cookie recipe will be sold in B&N cafes in stores nationwide throughout the 2019 Holiday season. ______________________________________________________________________ The Edupreneur: Your Blueprint To Jumpstart And Scale Your Education BusinessYou’ve spent years in the classroom, leading PD, designing curriculum, and transforming how students learn.

On this episode, I Zoom in Sonya Harris and we chat about how to start a school garden. Born and raised in Paulsboro, New Jersey, Sonya Harris is a Teacher of Special Education at the Dorothy L. Bullock Elementary School, in Glassboro, NJ. She received her BSEd in Special Education at West Chester University of Pennsylvania and is a 20+ year teaching veteran, with residence at Bullock for over 12 years, where she is now known as the “Garden Teacher” for her role in bringing an organic edible garden to the school. In the fall of 2013, Sonya gathered a group of teachers together to plan a garden at the Bullock School, which could be used as a space to teach students across the curriculum through gardening. She contacted celebrity landscaper Ahmed Hassan via social media for advice. Not only did he respond to her message a few hours later, he advised her and her Bullock Garden Team on what was needed to establish a sustainable school garden. Ahmed connected Sonya with local South Jersey landscape designer, Mike Pasquarello of Elite Landscaping in Berlin, NJ. Together, after almost a year of planning, partnerships with landscape and horticultural experts from across the country, sponsored donations and fundraising efforts, the Bullock Elementary Children's Garden became a reality the weekend of May 2-3, 2015. In October 2016, Sonya was awarded the very first “Best in New Jersey” Jersey Fresh Farm-to-School Award by the New Jersey Department of Agriculture for her drive in ensuring that the Bullock Children’s Garden serves as a tool for assisting teachers in teaching children across the curriculum through garden education, provides free, fresh, organic produce to the local low-income community, where the school is located (helping to eliminate a food desert) and for partnering with several organizations and green industry leaders to ensure successful learning opportunities for the Bullock Elementary students. She also runs an after-school club for at-risk children, teaching them the value of gardening, growing your own food, caring for the earth, and using interaction with nature to reduce feelings of frustration, anger, and depression. She loves spending time gardening at home and with the children at the school garden. Sonya is also currently leading the expansion of the garden education initiative throughout the Glassboro School District and with the Borough of Glassboro to increase sustainability awareness and Green initiatives. She is currently mentoring several schools across the United States assisting them in creating school gardens, and partners with members and organizations in the Green Industry across the United States, Australia, UK, and South Africa. In 2017 Sonya established the nonprofit The Bullock Garden Project, Inc. The role of this nonprofit is to assist schools serving large populations of students who are at-risk, receiving special education services, and/or low-income and food insecurity with establishing and implementing school gardens. She has won several awards, including the most recent awards: New Jersey Agricultural Society’s Learning Through Gardening 2018 Teacher of the Year, and Project Green Schools 2018 Outstanding Green Education Program Director.
