Description
In this episode of Don't Call on Me – The Dyslexia Podcast, Megan and Eryn sit down with Kareem Weaver, Co-Founder and Executive Director of FULCRUM and one of today's most powerful voices for literacy justice. Featured in the 2023 documentary The Right to Read, Kareem brings a lifetime of experience as an educator, administrator, and community leader to the urgent conversation about why so many children are still not learning to read.
