“Born to Lead! The Thrilling Success Story of One of the Divine Nine: Dr. Glenda Glover” looks at the life of Dr. Glenda Glover. The children’s book explores Glover’s love of education and learning from her early days in Memphis, Tennessee to becoming the first female president of Tennessee State University and running the first Black female sorority simultaneously.
Fittingly told in kid-friendly language, it’s a story that teaches young girls everywhere why they’re born to lead. Each page is filled with words of its era, pictures and quotes intertwined into the conversational setting of a loving family’s home.
“Born to Lead! The Thrilling Success Story of One of the Divine Nine: Dr. Glenda Glover” also teaches children that now is always the time to do what’s right. Additionally, it gives children hope while teaching them to look to their spiritual guide, GOD. It also includes an inspiring letter from Dr. Glover to young girls everywhere.
“It's okay to be different. I challenge you to be distinct. Strive not only to be the first, but be the best in all you do. Blaze a trail so bright that it lights up a path for others to follow,” said Dr. Glover.
